Cinnamon Bread Recipe

There’s nothing like the sweet, comforting smell of freshly baked cinnamon buns pervading your home on a cozy weekend morning. The aroma alone can put a smile on anyone’s face, but the taste is even more delicious. Warm, fluffy, and spiced with just the right amount of cinnamon, cinnamon bread is a classic treat enjoyed for generations.

When I was a child, my grandmother always baked cinnamon buns when she came to visit. We both spent hours in the kitchen measuring and mixing, our fingers glued to the dough and sugar. Some of my fondest memories are of us sitting at the table, warm cinnamon buns in hand, drinking tea and talking about life. Now that she is no longer with us, I make this recipe in her honor and remember the sweet moments we shared.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil 4 cups
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons extra pure vanilla
  Topping:
  2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  2 teaspoons unsalted butter, melted
  

Directions:

1. Oven at 350°. Preheat to F (175°C). Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
3. In a separate bowl, mix granulated sugar and eggs until creamy. Add buttermilk, vegetable oil, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
   4． Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Be careful not to overmix. Some lumps are okay.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
5. For the topping, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
6. Pour the melted unsalted butter over the dough in the loaf pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture evenly over the top. You can create designs using a spatula.
   8． Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Once baked, remove the cinnamon bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Slice the cinnamon buns and serve as desired. You can enjoy it as is or grilled with butter.
Trust me when I say this cinnamon bread recipe is one you’ll want to save and make over and over again.
