Brown Sugar Cinnamon Bread Recipe

This brown sugar cinnamon bread by Ninik Becker on YouTube is basically a cinnamon roll with raisins. The style of how the dough was cut and shape creates a twisted holiday bread. It’s a simple and easy bread recipe that’s not too sweet either. I would leave the raisins out for personal preference, but I love how the bread turned out. The presentation of the brown sugar cinnamon bread looks fancy with all of the swirls and twists. I think it’s a great way to make a sweet cinnamon bread for the holidays. This reminds me of an older traditional style of bread that I see in movies, so I need to try this style out. It’s crazy how just the way you twist or place the pieces of bread, it can create a beautiful shape once it’s done baking.

Ingredients:

Dough:

• 2-1/2 cups plain flour
• 2 tsp instant dry yeast
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 large egg, whisked.
• 3 tbsp butter, melted.
• 1/2 cup warm milk

Cinnamon Butter:

• 1/2 cup soft butter
• 1/2 cup powdered brown sugar
• 1 – 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• A handful of chopped raisin

Directions:

First, make the dough and cinnamon butter. Then, flatten out the dough into a rectangular shape, and spread the cinnamon butter evenly. Roll up the dough like a cinnamon roll.  Cut the roll into 8 small pieces.

Next, take a skewer or chopsticks and press down the center of each slice. This will create a design once you place them onto a baking tray. Continue to watch Ninik Becker tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details.

Overall, it’s pretty cool to see the shape of this brown sugar cinnamon bread in this form. You can cut out a piece of bread like a cake because it’s dense and wholesome.
