Cinnamon Swirl Brioche Bread
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 cup of warm water
- 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of warm water and 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the yeast mixture and 4 eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
- Add the softened butter to the dough and knead for 10-15 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Roll each half into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the rolled out dough.
- Roll up each rectangle tightly, starting from the long side. Pinch the seams to seal and tuck the ends under.
- Place the loaves in greased loaf pans, cover with a kitchen towel, and let them rise for another 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the loaves for 30-40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
