Cinnamon Swirl bread

Today is officially the first day of my spring break! I decided I would make this cinnamon swirl bread, eat one loaf and give one away. I used an excellent recipe for the bread.




 
Rose's/Sarah's Bread.
Warm the bowl
1/2 cup fruit- (applesauce, zucchini, pumpkin) in measuring cup add enough hot water to make 2 1/2 cups

Add:
1 T yeast (add a little warm water and sugar to test the yeast first)
1/2 scant fruit fresh
5 cups whole wheat flour

Mix together. let sit 15-20 minutes covered.

Add 2 teas. salt
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
a little less than 1/3 cup oil
2 cups bread flour

Knead 2 minutes
Let rise in bowl for 1 hour.

Shape into 2 loaves (For cinnamon swirl roll out each loaf into a long rectangle. Spread butter, brown sugar, and cinammon. roll up and place in pan)

Let rise until nice loaf size

Bake 350* 28-30 mins.


The loaves were pretty drippy when I took them out of the pan as you can see in the picture. So if you plan to use a good amount of butter like I did make sure you have a cookie sheet on the lowest rack in your oven to catch all the drips because it makes a huge mess if you don't.

The inside turned out very lovely.

This will make some mighty tasty french toast!!
