Ingredients You’ll Need

Making cinnamon bread from scratch is easier than you might think, and the ingredients are likely already in your pantry. Here’s what you’ll need:

For the Dough:

• 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F/43°C)
• ½ cup granulated sugar (divided: half for the dough, half for the cinnamon filling)
• ¼ cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 ½ to 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg (for richness and structure)

For the Cinnamon Filling:

• 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
• Pinch of salt

For the Topping (optional):

• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for sprinkling)

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Cinnamon Bread

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

In a small bowl, combine the warm milk with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk and stir lightly. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy and bubbly. If the yeast doesn’t bubble, it may be inactive, so it’s best to start over with fresh yeast.

Step 2: Make the Dough

In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the remaining ½ cup of sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture once it’s bubbly, and stir to combine. Gradually add in 3 ½ cups of flour, one cup at a time, mixing after each addition. Once the dough starts to come together, knead it on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook to knead the dough.

If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it reaches a soft, tacky consistency. Be careful not to add too much flour, or the bread may end up dry.
