Directions

Step

In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the melted butter, activated yeast mixture, and the egg. Mix until a dough forms.

Step

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.

Step

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan.

Step

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle.

Step

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the swirl.

Step

Spread the softened butter over the rolled-out dough and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly.

Step

Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other to form a log. Place it in the greased loaf pan.

Step

Cover the pan with a damp cloth and let the dough rise for an additional 30-45 minutes.

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Step

Allow the Cinnamon Swirl Loaf to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for this recipe

For an extra layer of sweetness, drizzle a simple powdered sugar glaze over the cooled Cinnamon Swirl Loaf. Mix powdered sugar with a small amount of milk or water until you achieve your desired consistency.
