Time 2h15m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup milk
2 eggs
¼ cup butter
4 cups bread flour
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons softened butter, divided
2 teaspoons sifted confectioners' sugar, divided

Steps:

  • Place milk, eggs, 1/4 cup butter, bread flour, sugar, salt, and yeast into a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer, select the dough setting, and start the machine. When dough cycle is complete, transfer dough to a floured work surface and punch down. Let dough rest for 10 minutes.
  • Mix walnuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Divide dough in half and roll each half into a rectangle about 9x14 inches. Spread 1 tablespoon softened butter over the top of each dough rectangle and evenly sprinkle dough with half the walnut mixture. Roll dough rectangles, starting from the short ends, and pinch seams closed.

If loaves brown too quickly, lightly cover with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes of baking. Let bread cool for 10 minutes before removing to finish cooling on wire racks. Sprinkle tops of each loaf with 1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar.

This recipe has been adapted from "The Good Enough to Eat Breakfast Cookbook" by Carrie Levin with William Perley. Copyright 2001 by Carrie Levin. Reprinted by permission of Warner Books.

Yield Makes 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus 3 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for bowl and pan
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk
1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees)
1 package active dry yeast
3 tablespoons plus a pinch sugar
2 large eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (if needed)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Make the dough: Lightly butter a medium bowl; set aside. In a small saucepan set over medium-low heat, heat 1/3 cup milk and 2 tablespoons butter until bubbles form along the sides of the saucepan. Remove from heat; set aside. In a 1-cup glass measuring cup, combine 1/4 cup warm water, the yeast, and a pinch sugar. Stir to combine. The mixture should begin to foam in about 5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, lightly beat 1 egg. Slowly add milk mixture, stirring to combine. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine flour, a heaping tablespoon sugar, and salt. Mix on low to combine. Gradually add the milk mixture, beating on low until well combined. Add the yeast mixture, beating to combine. Stop mixer and scrape down sides of bowl as necessary.
  • Remove dough to work surface, if the dough seems sticky, check the bottom of the mixer bowl, there should be enough flour to lightly flour the board. Knead dough until it is silky and smooth and bounces back when pressed with your thumb. Transfer to prepared bowl, turning to coat in butter. Cover with a clean kitchen towel, and place in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.with rack in the center. Make the filling: Lightly butter an 8 1/2-by-4-by-2-inch loaf pan; set aside. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; set aside.
  • Remove dough from bowl, and punch it down to remove air bubbles. If the dough seems sticky, lightly flour the board. If it seems dry, spritz it with a little water. Knead until silky and smooth.
  • Roll the dough into an 8 1/2-by-12-inch rectangle. Work the corners by pushing with your fingers; be careful not to tear the dough. Brush the surface of the dough with 3 tablespoons melted butter, and sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar.
  • Beginning with a long side, roll the dough up into a log. Using your fingertips, be sure to push in at the seam where the dough meets the cinnamon sugar. Carefully pull the dough back to its original 8 1/2-inch width as it shrinks. When you reach the end, pinch the two layers of dough together to seal. Place the roll, seam-side down, in prepared pan. Cover, and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  • Make the glaze: Whisk together remaining egg and 1 tablespoon milk. Brush over the risen dough. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow when thumped with a finger, about 40 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, and let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • If you don't have any buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • To make sure the bread is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing it. This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.
  • Serve the bread warm with butter, jam, or cream cheese.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon swirled bread is a classic breakfast treat that is easy to make at home. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and flavorful loaf of bread that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, cinnamon swirled bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
