Cinnamon Swirl Bread
I absolutely love making a big loaf of sweet bread and knowing that I have it all week to enjoy with my morning cup of coffee. I wanted to make this bread just sweet enough, not like your usual over the top cinnamon swirl breads. It came out so delicious, the perfect amount of sweetness. It smelled like a cinnamon roll when it was baking so I’m surprised I was able to wait for it too cool down to try! If you love sweet breads make sure to also try my Romanian Cozonac recipe!

- 1 cup lukewarm milk
- 4 oz butter melted
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 5 and 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
- Place all your bread ingredients in the bread machine pan with liquids on the bottom and dry ingredients on top.
- Turn your machine to the dough setting.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Once dough is done, take it out onto a work surface. Spread dough out into a rectangle the length of your loaf pan and about triple the width. Mix the cinnamon and sugar together and spread onto dough. Roll it up and place into a greased loaf pan.
- Cover the loaf pan with a dish cloth and let dough rest for about 30 minutes to an hour. Right before baking, brush dough with milk and egg yolk mixture.
- Bake in oven for about 40-50 minutes, testing the dough with a toothpick to make sure it comes out clean.
- Let bread cool completely before cutting.
