Now, let’s get right into the recipe. Here are the ingredients you’ll need:

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup warm milk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup brown sugar

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
2. Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix well to form a dough.
3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
5. After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
6. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and brown sugar.
7. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dough.
8. Starting from one side, tightly roll up the dough into a log shape.
9. Using a sharp knife, cut the log in half lengthwise, leaving about an inch uncut at one end.
10. Gently twist the two halves together, keeping the cut sides facing up.
11. Transfer the twisted loaf to a greased loaf pan.
12. Cover the loaf pan with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
13. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
14. Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
15. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Voila! Your delicious Cinnamon Twist Bread is now ready to be enjoyed. The aroma of cinnamon and freshly baked bread will fill your kitchen, and the taste will have you coming back for more.

Preparation Time: 2 hours

Tips:

1. For even more flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough before kneading.

3. This bread also freezes well, so you can make a double batch and save some for later.
