Cinnamon-Glazed Braid image

After tasting an unforgettably delicious bread in a Portland deli, I set out to duplicate the recipe so I could make it at home. I came up with this tender braid that my wife and I often make for church potlucks and to give as a gift. -Ken Lang, Dayville, Oregon

I had some trouble getting the braid to rise properly, but it still tasted good. I think I might have needed to knead the dough for longer.

The braid was a bit dry, but the glaze helped to make it more moist. Overall, it was a good recipe.

This braid was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less glaze next time.
