We’ve had these a lot in the last two weeks (with Mom’s Chili and Chicken Corn Chowder) and they are a family favorite. Kate and Mike give ‘em two thumbs up for taste and I give them two thumbs up for being easy to make!

Regular amounts are for a 1 1/2 lb recipe of bread that makes 12 slices. Amounts in parentheses are for a 2 lb recipe that makes 16 slices. Measure the cinnamon accurately!

This is my mother’s recipe, I can’t take credit for it. It’s for use with some kind of mixer Kitchenaid or Bosch or similar that will do the kneading for you. I tried to make bread without a mixer, waiting for the yeast to foam and then kneading it myself and failed miserably. With this method, I had success on my first try and now feel like a bread-baking pro. It is utterly delicious and slices beautifully.
