Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Cinnamon Swirl Bread
Cinnamon bread is a highly requested food at our house. Everyone loves it, and the kids like to help make it.

Cinnamon Swirl Bread
1 loaf of bread dough
1/4 cups brown sugar
1/2 Tablespoon cinnamon
  • Mix and knead the dough, let raise for an hour, and punch it down.
  • Grease a rectangular bread pan with shortening.
  • Spread the dough into a large rectangle, about 9x13 inches, on a lightly floured board.
  • Sprinkle the dough with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Starting on the short end of the rectangle, roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam together. Fold the two ends under and pinch to stick those seams together as well.
  • Place the dough in the pan, brush with oil or butter, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let raise for about an hour.
  • Bake at 375* for 30-35 minutes.
  • Remove from the pan, brush with oil or butter, and cool on a rack.
