CINNAMON LOAF

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x5 loaf pan with butter.
• In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar for about 1 minute. Add eggs, one at a time, blending well after eat addition. Mix in vanilla extract and lemon zest.
• Mix 1/3 of the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Mix 1/3 of the buttermilk in until just combined. Continue alternating flour mixture and buttermilk until everything is just combined.
• In a separate medium bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Pour 1/3 of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Pour 1/3 of the cinnamon mixture on top, followed by another 1/3 of the batter and another 1/3 of the cinnamon. Repeat one more time, ending with the cinnamon sugar on top.
• Bake on the bottom rack of your oven for 54-58 minutes, until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean.
• Let cinnamon loaf cool in pan before removing from pan (run a knife along the edges if necessary) and slicing.

CINNAMON SWIRL QUICK BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a 9×5 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
• Mix the 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar and 1 Tablespoon of ground cinnamon together.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar together until combined. Whisk in the oil, sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then whisk to completely combine. Avoid over-mixing. You will have about 3 cups of batter.
• Pour/spread half of the batter into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle almost all of the cinnamon sugar evenly on top (reserve about 2 Tablespoons for topping). It's a very thick layer of cinnamon sugar. Carefully pour/spread remaining batter evenly on top. The top layer of batter will want to stick to the cinnamon sugar filling, making spreading a little tougher to do, but use a spoon to carefully spread it out as best you can. Sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon sugar. Using a knife, make a large swirl down the loaf pan, as shown in the video tutorial above. Avoid over-swirling, which will mix the layers together too much.
• Bake the bread for 50 minutes to 1 hour, covering loosely with foil about halfway through to prevent the top from over-browning. Poke the center of the bread with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. Oven times will vary between ovens. My bread usually takes 55 minutes. Cool bread completely in the pan set on a wire rack.
• Drizzle with icing, if using. Slice and serve. Cover and store leftover bread at room temperature for 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

CINNAMON RIBBON LOAF

Steps:

• In a small bowl mix yeast and warm water. Add about a teaspoons of the granulated sugar and a teaspoons of flour. Stir and set aside to "proof."
• Within about 10 minutes, the yeast should be rising up the sides of the bowl.
• While the yeast is proofing, Combine the lukewarm milk, the rest of the 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, the salt, and the veg. oil.
• Add enough flours to make a thick batter (like a thick pancake batter). Normally, I do this all in my Kitchenaid stand mixer and beat it on med. speed for 2 minute to get some air into it and get the gluten starting to form.
• Add your eggs and beat them into the batter.
• Stir in the yeast.
• Add enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough. If you are using part whole wheat flour, add that to the batter first.
• Turn your oven on so that it preheats to about 200 degrees ("warm"). Then turn the oven off.
• Knead your dough on a floured surface until it is smooth and satiny. Keep working in what's left of the 5 cups of flour until the dough stops sticking to your hands and you can form a nice round ball out of it that will hold it's shape pretty well. It may actually take more than the 5 total cups of flour.
• Butter a large bowl (basketball size) or spray it with cooking spray.
• Place dough in bowl and grease the top of your ball of dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap that you have greased, and then over that I recommend putting a cotton dish towel that you have wet down and wrung out.
• Slide the bowl into the warm oven, making sure the oven has been turned off for at least 5 minute before you put the dough in to rise. Rising will take approximately 1.5 hours, but start checking after an hour. When the dough has doubled in size or reached the top of the bowl, it is ready to shape.
• To shape the dough, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. It will deflate, which is normal. Sprinkle a little flour over the top and roll the dough out to a rectangle that is about 24" long x 12" wide.
• Spread the dough with 1 stick of the softened butter.
• Mix together the filling ingredients. Save back about 1/4 cup and generously sprinkle the rest over the dough. Use your hands to pat the filling mix down into the dough a bit.
• Fold the dough into thirds, so that you have an oblong about 24" x 4". Cut this into about 15 equal-sized strips.
• Put 1 tablespoons of melted butter into the bottom of 3 (9x5) loaf pans.
• Sprinkle 1/3 of the remaining filling mix over the top in a light layer.
• Each pan will hold about 5 of the strips of dough. Turn them on their sides and snake them back and forth into the pan until they fit. It's not an exact science, so just play with it.
• Cover and let rise until the dough reaches the top of the pan-about another 30 min or so.
• Bake at 375 for about 20-25 minute (If you have dark pans, reduce temperature to 350.) They should be golden brown, but not burnt. If after 20-25 minute you aren't sure if they are done in the middle, turn the oven off and let them sit in there for another 5 minute The tops will not brown anymore, but the insides will finish cooking.

CINNAMON SWIRL POUND CAKE LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325F (not fan assisted) and grease an 8 x 4-inch or 4 x 10-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
• In a large bowl with an electric mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Add 1/2 of the dry mixture to the butter mixture, then the sour cream, then the rest of the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.
• Remove 1 cup of the batter to a medium bowl. Add the cinnamon swirl ingredients to it - the brown sugar, cinnamon and milk and stir to combine.
• Spoon a thin layer of the plain batter into the bottom of your prepared loaf pan. Using a spoon, drop alternating spoonfuls of the plain and the cinnamon batter into the pan. Top with the remaining plain batter and smooth the top. Using a long skewer or knife, run through the batter in the pan a few times (either lengthwise or from side to side). Just about 3 lengthwise or 4-5 side to side should do it).
• Make topping by combining the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the top of the loaf.
• Bake loaf in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the centre of the loaf comes out clean. (4x10 pan will cook more quickly, 55-60 minutes, while an 8x4 will take a bit longer, closer to 65 or a few minutes more).
• Allow loaf to cool in the pan about 10 minutes, then run a knife around the outside and remove to a cooling rack to cool.

CINNAMON BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C. Place 250g of strong bread flour into a large bowl. Carefully add the salt, dried yeast, sunflower oil and warm water. Mix well with a fork.
• When the mixture gets sticky, take it out and place it on a clean surface. Sprinkle a tsp of flour on the surface so the mixture won't stick to it. Start rolling it out whilst still mixing it. When the mixture is no longer sticky, leave it for 15 minutes on a warm, damp surface to prove.
• After 15 minutes, take the dough and place it again on a surface with sprinked flour. Start rolling around the mixture again untill it's no longer sticky.
• To plait the bread, simply roll it into three equal shaped balls. Then roll these out untill long and thin. Equally brush the olive oil over the bread dough Bind three ends together and start plaiting them. Bind the three ends together again at the end. Leave on a warm, damp surface to prove for 15 miutes.
• Place the bread in the pre-heated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. You will know the bread is cooked by seeing it's a golden colour and by poking your finger in the bottom of the bread. remove the bread from oven unless it needs more time to cook.
• Leave for 5 minutes on a dry surface to cool down, then enjoy. The bread should serve 5 or more people.
