Cinnamin Swirl Bread

Cinnamon Swirl Bread

¼ cup warm water
1 package dry yeast
2 cups warm milk
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons sugar
6 ½ cups flour
2 tablespoons cinnamon
3 tablespoons sugar

1. Pour water into a bowl, stir in yeast until dissolved.
2. Stir in milk, oil, and sugar.
3. Sprinkle in first three cups of flour, 1 cup at a time, until the flour’s evenly mixed.
Stir in fourth cup of floor until the dough is elastic. This part is really tedious.
Stir in fifth cup to make the dough stiff.
4. Knead on floured surface until smooth and unsticky.
5. Pour a little bit of oil into a bowl and put ball of dough in. Flip the dough over to grease it up like a piggie. Cover and let rise until doubled, about and 1.5 hours. Punch it down when it’s done rising.
6. Pull the dough into an oval and split it in half.
7. Mix cinnamon and sugar together. Roll each chunk of dough into a rectangle and spread cinnamon and sugar over the dough. Roll up each rectangle, staring from wide end. Seal the ends by squishing and pinching. Place each roll into a loaf pan.
8. Let the loaves rise for another 45 minutes.
9. Bake at 375° for 35 to 45 minutes, until golden brown.
