There’s nothing like the smell of freshly baked sweet bread filling your kitchen — especially when it’s swirled with warm cinnamon sugar. This recipe creates a soft, buttery loaf with a golden crust and a sweet, aromatic filling that melts in your mouth.

Whether you enjoy it plain, toasted with butter, or as French toast, this Cinnamon Sugar Sweet Bread is a comforting treat that tastes like home. It’s easy enough for beginners yet special enough for holidays, brunches, and cozy weekends.

🍯 Ingredients:

For the Dough:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup sugar

  • 1 packet (2¼ tsp) active dry yeast

  • ¾ cup warm milk (about 110°F / 43°C)

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 egg

  • ½ tsp salt

For the Cinnamon Sugar Filling:

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • ⅓ cup brown sugar

  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Optional Glaze (for extra sweetness):

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

  • 1 tbsp milk

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Activate the Yeast:
    In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes, until foamy.

  2. Make the Dough:
    Add melted butter, egg, and salt. Stir in flour gradually until a soft dough forms. Knead for 6–8 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

  3. First Rise:
    Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

  4. Add the Cinnamon Filling:
    Roll dough into a rectangle (about 9x13 inches). Spread softened butter evenly, then sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over top.

  5. Shape & Second Rise:
    Roll tightly into a loaf, pinching seams to seal. Place into a greased loaf pan, cover, and let rise another 30–40 minutes.

  6. Bake:
    Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30–35 minutes, until golden brown. Cool slightly before glazing.

  7. Add Glaze (Optional):
    Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth, then drizzle over cooled loaf.

🌿 Tips for Perfect Sweet Bread:

  • Make sure your yeast is fresh and milk is warm, not hot.

  • Brush the top with butter right after baking for a soft crust.

  • Add raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips for a fun twist.

  • Leftovers make amazing French toast or bread pudding!
