Cinnamon Sugar Bread Recipe

There’s just something magical about the smell of fresh-baked bread wafting through the house, especially as the fall air arrives. This Cinnamon Sugar Bread has quickly become a family favorite around here, and it’s not hard to see why. Whether it’s toasted and slathered with cream cheese, honey butter, or your favorite jam, it’s a slice of heaven every time. And if you really want to elevate your breakfast game, try it as cinnamon French toast—trust me, you won’t regret it!


This sweet and soft loaf is perfect for cozy fall mornings or when you’re craving a late-night snack. Bonus: It’s so easy to make in the bread machine, you’ll be baking it on repeat!




Ingredients: 1 cup milk

1⁄4 cup softened butter or margarine

1 egg

3 cups bread flour

1⁄2 cup sugar

1⁄2 teaspoon salt

11⁄4 teaspoons cinnamon

2 teaspoons yeastk



Instructions:

  1. Place ingredients in the bread machine pan in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Usually this is wet ingredients first and then dry, making sure to add yeast last and not get it wet.

  2. Bake using the sweet bread setting if your machine has it. If your machine doesn't have that setting just use the white bread setting. I use the 1.5lb setting on medium crust color and it's perfect.

  3. When the bread is done, remove from the machine and let sit on a rack for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. If it sticks, just loosen the sides with a rubber spatula and it should slip out easily.
