Ingredients
Dough:
- 2 cup warm water
- 4 1/2 teaspoon yeast 2 packets
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 5 1/2 cup bread flour
Extra ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp. canola oil
- 1/2 cup sugar + 2 T. cinnamon mixed in a small bowl
- spray bottle with water
- butter for brushing on baked loaves
Instructions
- Mix water and yeast and sugar. Allow to sit 5 minutes or until yeast looks foamy.
- Add remaining dough ingredients and mix in stand mixer or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
- Knead dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic. Add 1 Tablespoon of oil to bowl and coat dough on both sides.
- Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let raise in warmed oven.
- Let raise for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Once your dough has doubled in size, dump it onto your work space.
- Divide into two sections.
- Roll each section into a 9x13 rectangle. Lightly spritz dough with water.
- Sprinkle with 4T cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Then spritz sugar with a little more water from the spray bottle. (This will help the sugar and cinnamon mixture stick to the dough.)
- Roll dough tightly into a log. Pinch ends tightly to close, as well as the seam.
- Place into greased bread pans, seam side down.
- Return to warm oven and let raise for 40 minutes.
- Take loaves out of the warm oven and heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake loaves for 25-30 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
- Let the fresh baked cinnamon bread stand in the pans for 5 minutes.
- Remove from pans and let sit on a cooling rack.
