Nikki's Cinnamon Walnut Bread image

This is my family's favorite breakfast bread. The bread machine does the work, and the filling makes it a treat. Be careful when chopping the walnuts, as if they are too finely chopped, the filling gets mushy. Enjoy!

Time 4h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cups bread flour (such as King Arthur®)
¾ cup milk, room temperature
¼ cup unsalted butter, room temperature and cut into chunks
¼ cup white sugar
1 egg, room temperature
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
¾ teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped walnuts
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
4 teaspoons milk
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 tablespoon water
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Place bread flour, 3/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, yeast, and salt into the pan of your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select the Dough cycle and press Start. When the cycle is complete, remove the dough, punch down, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat an oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Spread the walnuts onto a baking sheet, and toast until the nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 45 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully as they bake, they burn quickly. Once toasted, set the nuts aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Stir walnuts, brown sugar, 3 tablespoons white sugar, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon together in a bowl. Add 4 teaspoons milk and 1 tablespoon butter; mix well.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 15x12-inch rectangle. Cut into three 15x4-inch strips. Spread 1/3 the walnut mixture down the center of each strip. Moisten and roll the long edges of each strip together over the filling, and pinch to seal each rope.
  • Line up the 3 ropes 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. To ensure an even braid, start braiding in the middle. Bring the left rope under the center rope, pass the right rope under the new center rope, and repeat braiding to the end. Starting in the middle again, pass the outside ropes over the center rope, repeating to the end. Press rope ends together and tuck in on each side. Cover loaf with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat water and egg together in a small bowl. Stir 2 tablespoons white sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon together in a separate bowl. Brush loaf with egg mixture and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the bottom of loaf sounds hollow when tapped, 20 to 25 minutes.

This bread is a great way to use up leftover walnuts. I also like to add raisins or cranberries for a bit of extra flavor.

I've tried a lot of different cinnamon walnut bread recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's moist, flavorful, and has the perfect amount of walnuts.

This bread was a huge disappointment. It was dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out right.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There are a lot of steps involved and it took me a long time to make the bread.

This bread was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think I'll try making it again with less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon, but I really enjoyed this bread. The walnuts added a nice crunch and the streusel topping was the perfect finishing touch.

This cinnamon walnut bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. The bread is moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of cinnamon and walnuts. I loved the addition of the streusel topping, which gave the bread a nice crunchy texture.
