Cinnamon Bread

Source:  http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/2013/12/brown-sugar-cinnamon-homemade-bread.html?m=1



1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1 loaf of frozen bread dough (Rhodes brand)
3 tablespoons of butter, softened
1/3 cup of brown sugar
1 tablespoon of cinnamon 
.......
Egg Wash : 
1 egg, beaten
.......
2 tablespoons of butter melted
1 cup of powdered sugar
milk, to thin, if necessary 

Let the dough thaw overnight in the refrigerator.  You can also use your defrost setting the in microwave if you're in a pinch.  Each log of dough will make one loaf.  I put a little oil in the bowl, then put in the dough.  I flip the dough around a couple of times to coat it with the oil, so as it rises it doesn't stick to the bowl.  Cover loosely with plastic wrap.

I set my oven at 120 degrees, put in a pan of warm water, and let it rise in the oven.   

Roll out on a floured surface.  I had the wooden baking basket out to make sure I was rolling it out to the correct size. 


Butter generously. 


Top with brown sugar and cinnamon.  You could also add raisins and nuts.


 Roll it up.


And place it, seam down, into the basket.  They come with paper liners, but you don't have to use them.  The flour on the dough will help them release from the pan naturally... just like authentic bread baking baskets. 


I brushed the loaf with a little oil, then let them rise for another hour and a half.  Before they go into the oven, brush with an egg wash.


They bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes - or until golden.  


 Another way to check to see if it is done is to "thump" the bread.  If it sounds hollow it is done!


I drizzled it with a simple mixture of melted butter, powdered sugar and milk to make a quick glaze.  I let it harden, then packed them up.
