Ingredients
- 3 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour OR Perfect Pastry Blend
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup cinnamon chips or cinnamon Flav-R-Bites
- Cinnamon-Sugar Plus or cinnamon-sugar, for topping
Preparation
Step 1
1) In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, yeast, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder.
2) In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, butter, and egg.
3) Combine the wet and dry ingredients, beating until smooth.
4) Stir in the cinnamon chips or Flav-R-Bites. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 1 hour, covered. Towards the end of the rest, preheat the oven to 350°F.
5) Spoon the batter into a greased 8 1/2? x 4 1/2? loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with cinnamon-sugar.
6) Bake the bread for 35 to 40 minutes, until it tests done; a cake tester inserted into the center will come out clean.
7) Remove the bread from the oven, let it rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it from the pan to a rack to cool completely.
Note: Don't slice the bread while it's hot! It'll slice much better when it's completely cool.
Yield: 1 loaf.
