Delicious Bread!

Yesterday my friend, Turkey, gave me a link to a Breakfast Bread Recipe that looked so delicious I had to make it right away. I changed the recipe a little to suit my needs and what I had in my pantry and came up with my version of the bread.

It ended up being like a ginormous cinnamon roll because my apartment was too cold for it really to rise to it's full potential but the flavor was heavenly and 3ft proclaimed it the most delicious cinnamony bread ever. So I figure it was a win. Even the Husband swears he likes it even though I tried to convince him not to eat it because it was gross and he wouldn't like it -- you know, so there'd be more for me. (It didn't work, but I figured it was worth a shot.)

Cinnamon Swirl Bread


Ingredients

2 1/2 cups unbleached bread flour
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 Tbsp honey
1/4 cup fat free yogurt
1 1/2 tsp instant yeast
2 Tbsp Brummel and Brown Original Spread w/ Yogurt (room temperature)
1 cup water room temperature water
1 1/2 tsp olive oil for bowl
1/4 cup honey to drizzle over bread
1 tbs cinnamon to sprinkle over bread

Directions

In a large bowl mix all of your dry ingredients with a wire whisk.

Make a "well" in your flour mixture and add brummel and brown spread, sour cream, 3 TBS honey, and water. then mix it together with your hands. When the dough forms and there's no flour remaining dump out the bowl onto a lightly floured surface and knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes. The ball should be slightly tacky and springy.

Oil a bowl and roll dough in the bowl to cover with the oil. Cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap and allow it to rise for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until doubled in size.

Lightly sprinkle flour on workspace and gently roll out dough. Very carefully pull and shape the dough to form a rectangle about 8 inches by 12 inches. You don’t want to release any of the air trapped in the dough by handling the dough roughly. Drizzle your 1/4 cup honey all over the top of the dough and sprinkle with the cinnamon.

Carefully roll up the rectangle of dough to form the swirls and set inside a prepared bread pan (I used butter flavor baking spray). Cover pan and allow to rise for another hour or until bread rises just past the top of the pan. During the last 20 minutes of rising, set your oven to 350 F.

Bake bread for 30 minutes or until done (mine only took the 30)

When bread is done baking, turn out immediately on a cooling rack. Let cool, then dig in.
