Cinnamon Swirl Bread
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 2 1/4 teaspoons of instant yeast
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/4 cup of water
- 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
- In a separate bowl, heat the milk, water, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter until warm (120-130°F).
- Add the warm liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and then add the egg. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the remaining flour to form a soft dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 6-8 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch the dough down and turn it onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a 14x7-inch rectangle.
- Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over the dough. Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the short side.
- Place the dough seam side down in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cover and let it rise until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush the top of the loaf with the remaining melted butter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.
- Remove from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack. Slice and enjoy!
