Ingredients
Scale
- 5 ¼ to 5 ½ cups all-purpose or bread flour, divided
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant or active dry yeast
- 1 ¾ cups warm water (105 to 110 degrees F)
- ¼ cup neutral-flavored oil (grapeseed, avocado, vegetable, or canola)
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons table salt
- 1 ½ cups mini cinnamon chips
- Butter for brushing tops of loaves
Instructions
- In a mixer bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, sugar, and yeast. Mix well.
- Pour in warm water and blend until mixed. Cover and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add oil, egg, salt, 1 cup of flour, and cinnamon chips. Mix at medium speed, gradually incorporating more flour until the dough pulls away from the bowl.
- Knead the dough for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Grease two 8 1/2-X-4 1/2-inch loaf pans and set aside.
- Divide the dough into two pieces, shape into thick squares, and roll into tight logs. Seal the seams.
- Preheat oven to 350°F, ensuring the rack is in the middle.
- Place the loaves in the pans, cover, and let rise until just above the pan edge.
- Bake for 32 to 35 minutes until golden and an internal thermometer reads 195°F.
- Remove from oven, cool slightly, brush with butter, and let cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Ensure the water temperature is between 105 to 110 degrees F for best yeast activation.
Humidity and flour measurement may affect the exact amount needed, so adjust accordingly.
Let bread cool completely before slicing to maintain texture.
