Ingredients

  • 3 to 3 ¼ Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • ¼ Cup Sugar
  • 1 ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • 2 ¼ Teaspoons Yeast
  • 1 Cup Warm Water
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil or Melted Butter
  • ¼ Cup Sugar + 1 ½ Teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons Heavy Cream or Milk

Instructions

  • Mix 1 ½ Cups of flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachments.
  • Pour in the warm water and mix on low for about 1 minute.
  • Add the egg and mix until smooth.
  • Switch to a dough hook and mix in the remaining flour, just enough to make the dough pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Knead the dough for about 10 minutes.
  • Grease a large bowl and place the dough inside, turning once to coat both sides of dough.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise in a warm place until double in size, about one hour.
  • Punch down the dough and pour it out onto a floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll out a rectangle about 18 x 9 inches.
  • Use a pastry brush to brush vegetable oil or melted butter onto the dough rectangle.
  • Mix together the ¼ cup sugar and 1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon and sprinkle over the top of the dough.
  • Roll the dough up, cinnamon roll style, and pinch the edges of dough together.
  • Fold the ends of the dough under the center of the roll and place in a greased 9 x 5 x 3 loaf pan.
  • Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow to rise another 1 hour.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes on the lowest rack in the oven. Tent the loaf with tin foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until it is deep golden brown.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack for 15 minutes, before removing the loaf to continue cooling.
  • Glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and cream. Drizzle over the top of the bread.
