Breakfast cinnamon logs are a delightful pastry that combines the flavors of cinnamon and sugar with a soft, fluffy dough. They are a popular breakfast food, often served with a cup of coffee or tea. Cinnamon logs can also be enjoyed as a snack or dessert. The classic recipe for cinnamon logs is made with a yeast-based dough, but there are also recipes that use a quick bread dough or a puff pastry dough. Cinnamon logs can be baked in a loaf pan or on a baking sheet. They are typically glazed with a simple syrup or a cream cheese frosting.

CINNAMON BREAKFAST BREAD



Cinnamon Breakfast Bread image

This is a delicious and filling bread for breakfast. No mixer required. Slice each loaf into at least 10 or 12 slices and freeze in a zip lock bag. Because slices are long and slender (I use a kitchenaid softsided loaf pan), I stand slices on end in a wide-mouth toaster and toast right from the freezer. We like the combination of crunchy edges and moist center. Great with butter or fruit spread. This was adapted from recipe #69170. I have used a regular oven and a convection oven. Both work well. Added note: Since I posted this recipe, I made the recipe once when I had only one individual tub of apple sauce. I had some left-over crushed pineapple with juice in the refrigerator, so I filled the empty apple sauce tub with that to measure and used juicy pineapple as a substitute. It worked well. Thanks to all of you who made kind comments!

3 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar

1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2/3 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
5 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup shortening
1 teaspoon salt
1 (.25 ounce) package yeast
¼ cup warm water
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1 cup white sugar
½ cup melted butter
