Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of the white flour, the wheat flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Blend well.

2. In a saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-low heat, then add the milk. Warm, and then add this to the dry ingredients, beating until moistened. Add the egg, and beat on medium speed for 4 minutes. The dough should be forming a nice ball, and it should be pulling away from the sides of the bowl. (You may need to add a bit of additional flour to make this happen.) Flour a flat surface, and place the dough on it, kneading the dough for at least 5 minutes.

3. In a microwave, melt the remaining butter in a measuring cup. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon, and mix well. Divide the dough in half. Make 8 balls out of this part, and place them in 2 rows on a greased 9-inch by 5-inch by 3-inch bread pan. Pour about one-third of the butter mixture over the dough balls. Take the remaining one-half of the dough, and divide it into 6 balls. Dip the balls of dough in the butter mixture, and place them butter-side down in 3 rows of two (in the creases between the dough that you have placed in the bread pan). Pour the remaining butter mixture over them. Cover this with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 30 to 45 minutes until it is doubled in size. Bake it at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove it from the bread pan, and allow it to cool a bit on a wire plate. (It is too gooey for a wire rack.) Pull it apart to eat, and enjoy! Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread recipe makes 1 loaf.
