Overview
A delicious bread that taste just as cinnamon rolls. The same good taste and swirls of cinnamon brown sugar that you find in cinnamon rolls. This bread is soft, fluffy and delicious that you can pull apart and enjoy. This is easy to make for beginners and uses yeast, the very first time I tried it it came out so good my whole family enjoyed it.
Ingredients
1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
2/3 cup room temperature butter
2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
Steps
1. In a large mixing bowl add the yeast, warm water and sugar. Stir and keep it aside for 10 - 15 minutes till the yeast is bubbly.
2. Add the flour and salt to this mix well and knead to make a soft dough. Make a smooth round ball of the dough, coat with oil, cover with a wet towel and keep aside to rise so that the dough doubles in size.
3. In a small bowl mix the soft butter and cinnamon to a smooth paste.
3. Once the dough is doubled. Knead the dough again on an oiled surface and roll to make a 9x13 rectangle sheet.
4. Spread the butter cinnamon evenly on the rolled out dough and roll in tightly pinch the seam and make a roll.
5. Place the rolled dough on a baking pan with butter paper. With a sharp knife cut the dough from bottom to top leaving 2 - 3 inches of the top intact. Swirl the two cut pieces with the cut side facing up to make a nice braid.
6. Cover with wet towel and let it rise for 20 - 25 minutes.
7. Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 - 25 minutes till it is golden brown.
Serve warm.
