Ingredients Youāll Need
For the Dough:
1 cup warm milk (110Ā°F) š„
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet) š
1/2 cup granulated sugar š¬
1/4 cup melted butter š§
1/4 cup vegetable oil šæ
1 tsp salt š§
2 large eggs š„
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (approximately) š¾
For the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture:
1 cup granulated sugar š
2 tbsp ground cinnamon š°
1/4 cup melted butter š§
Letās Get Baking! š
Prepare the Dough:
Start by dissolving the yeast in warm milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothyāthis is your sign that the yeast is alive and kicking! š„³
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, melted butter, vegetable oil, salt, and eggs. Stir well until everything is fully incorporated.
Gradually add the yeast mixture to the bowl.
Slowly incorporate the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft, non-sticky dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, add a bit more flour until itās just right. šŖ
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until itās smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size. This is where the magic begins! ā³
Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture:
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside. šāØ
Brush the dough generously with melted butterābecause, letās face it, more butter equals more yum!
Shape the Bread:
Punch down the risen dough to release the air and divide it into two equal parts.
Roll each part into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Brush the dough with melted butter, then sprinkle it generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Roll up the dough tightly from one of the long sides to form a log.
Slice each log into 8-10 pieces and place them in greased loaf pans, cut side up. These slices will bake up into fluffy, swirled perfection.
Final Rise:
Cover the loaf pans with a damp cloth and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes. This gives the bread a final boost before baking. ā²ļø
Bake the Bread:
Preheat your oven to 350Ā°F (175Ā°C).
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through. Your kitchen will soon be filled with the heavenly aroma of cinnamon and sugarāpure comfort in every scent! š
Optional Glaze:
For a little extra indulgence, mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tbsp milk to create a sweet glaze. Drizzle this over the warm bread for a touch of dreamy sweetness. āØ
Enjoy the Magic! āØ
Now that your kitchen smells like a slice of heaven, itās time to slice into that homemade cinnamon bread and savor every delicious bite.
