Cinnamon Bread

I love the warm foods that most people associate with the holidays. In our family there are two things my mom makes that we ALL crave and beg for once the weather cools down – Cinnamon Bread and Homemade Donuts. Well, I’m happy to report my friends that I have tutorials and recipes for both, but you’re going to have to wait another week for the donuts. Today, I will be sharing our favorite Cinnamon Bread Recipe.

The recipe comes from a family friend from church, and it’s the one my mom has used for years! This is the yummiest and gooey-est Cinnamon Bread I have ever tried, and I know you will love it just as much as we do!

{Spraying the dough down with a little water helps the cinnamon/sugar mixture to stick better}

{Sprinkle on your cinnamon/sugar mixture – Spread evenly on dough}

 {Drop your loaves seam-side down into your greased pans}

Just FYI, it calls for 17 cups of flour which means it makes a pretty big batch – 5 LOAVES!! But, if that’s too much for you, you can half the recipe or freeze the extra loaves. Whenever we have made this, 5 loaves is never enough because everyone loves it!! And trust me – if you take this to neighbors or friends they will love you forever. 🙂

This is truly the best Cinnamon Bread recipe ever, and I think you’ll agree. My kid eat this stuff like it was candy (it practically is!) Not sure about you but you know it’s a hit when it’s gooey and lasts for a long time without getting dry.

Let me know what you think of it!

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp salt
• 1 lb brown sugar loose - approx. 3.4 cups
• 1/2 cup margarine softened
• 4 cups hot water
• 4 cups cold water
• 2 tbsp dry yeast
• 17 cups flour (approximately)
• 4 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup cinnamon

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, add salt, brown sugar, margarine and hot water. Let dissolve.

2. Add cold water.
3. Then sprinkle dry yeast on top and let bubble for 5 minutes.
4. Add flour. Stir together until soft. You may need to add a little more flour until it is soft. (NOTE: This is a very soft and semi-sticky dough.) Knead the dough for a few minutes. Let rise for approximately 1½ hours.
5. Punch down dough and divide into 5 loaves.
6. Mix cinnamon and sugar together.
7. Roll out dough (on a well-floured surface) to the width of your bread pan (a regular size bread pan). Spray with water so cinnamon and sugar mixture stick better. Add ¾ cup of cinnamon/sugar mix to your dough.
8. Roll dough up and drop into greased bread pan. Let rise for 20 minutes.
9. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.
