Cinnamon Bread

Um, so, I was particularly bad a taking pictures with this recipe. You know how I can be.

Ingredients:

1 cup milk

6 tablespoons butter

2 1/2 teaspoons yeast

2 eggs

1/3 cup sugar

3 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup sugar

2 tablespoons cinnamon

Melt the butter with the milk to warm, not too hot, and stir in the yeast. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.

Combine the flour and salt in a smaller, separate bowl.

With a mixer, combine sugar and eggs and then add the butter-milk-yeast stuff. (Yes, technical term. Hush yourself.) Then add the dry mixture and beat until combined. 

Then, the fun part: kneading the dough. Do so for about 10 minutes on a flour-covered surface.

Coat a metal bowl in some oil--canola, vegetable, etc.--and dump in the dough. Cover with a damp towel and let rise for 2 hours.

Then, when you come back to it, knead it for about 10 more minutes and roll it out into a rectangle, size up to you. Smear melted butter all over it. Mix up the filling: sugar and cinnamon, and spread over the butter. Roll up the dough over it. Put it in a sprayed loaf pan. I chose to use a class baking pan--I like how those work with bread better. Cover it with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 2 more hours.

Then, when you make it back to it, heat the oven to 350 and bake for 40 minutes.
