I saw these beautiful cinnamon swirl bread here and was back on the baking prowl ; the recipe was followed to a great extent except that instead of the swirls the dough was made in to a normal loaf !
It tasted swell, though a little crumbly.
Update:- Swathi @ Zetsy South Indian Kitchen gave a suggestion to reduce the crumbliness – increase the water content and reduce the flour. She says the dough needs to be sticky initially and after working on it for 10-15 minutes it becomes soft.
Also the yeast to work its magic needs to be immersed in warm milk/water with little sugar instead of butter.This suggestion will be incorporated in my future bakes.
Cinnamon is such a versatile flavour and the bread was heavenly in sandwiches with my Tomato-Onion Relish as the perfect sandwich spread !
What goes:-
- All purpose Flour – 350 grams (approx)
- Butter – 75 grams – room temperature
- Milk -240 ml
- Salt – 1 tsp
- Active Dry Yeast – 8 grams
- Egg – 1
- Sugar – 65 grams
- Powdered Sugar n Cinnamon – 4 to 5 tbsp- as required
- Butter – as required
Heat the milk in a low-medium flame and melt the butter in it without boiling. Wait till it becomes luke warm, add the yeast and let it sit for 10 minutes. In the meanwhile mix eggs and sugar in a bowl and add it to the milk-butter-yeast mix. Combine the flour & salt in to the mix and knead it in to a dough adding more flour if the dough is too sticky.
Then knead it once again gently and place in the greased loaf tin. Cover it and allow it to rise again.Mix the egg& miljk and brush it on the loaf.
very well done and lovely bread.I have a question,shud the dough be like that of a roti or little bit softer than that?
@ savitha – softer not very stiff
The bread has come out so perfect… Always love the flavor of cinnamon
