Here is some delicious cinnamon bread I made tonight. I don't usually make bread, but when I was asked to choose a recipe and make some for a Relief Society activity, I knew immediately I had to make this one! It brings back memories of my childhood when my grandma used to make it a lot, and since we lived next door I smelled, and ate, it a lot.
I think she would have been proud of my batch tonight.
11-13 cups unsifted bread flour
6 Tbsp. sugar
4 tsp. salt
2Tbsp. yeast
3 cups water
1 cup milk
6 Tbsp. margarine
melted butter (wait to melt until called
for)
cinnamon sugar
In a large bowl thoroughly mix 4 cups
flour, sugar, salt, and undissolved yeast.
Combine water, milk, and margarine in
a saucepan. Heat over ow heat until liquids are warm, not hot. (Margarine does
not need to melt.) Gradually add to dry ingredients and beat well. Add 1 1/2
cups flour, or enough flour to make a thick batter. Beat well. stir in
enough additional flour to make a soft dough and until dough cleans
sides of bowl. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in
warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down; turn out onto lightly
floured board. Divide dough into 4 loafs shape. Roll out each loaf into
rectangle. Spread with melted butter, sugar and cinnamon. Roll into loaf
shape. Placed in greased loaf plans. Cover; let rise in warm place until
doubled, about 1 hour.
Bake at 350 degrees about 25-30 minutes, or
until done. Remove from pans immediately and cool on wire racks. Butter tops of
loaves.
Happy Homemaking!
