directions

  • Lightly grease an 8×8-inch square baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt.
  • Dissolve the yeast in a measuring cup filled with the warmed milk, then stir milk mixture, vegetable oil, vanilla extract and egg into the flour mixture.
  • Mix well, until very smooth. Pour into prepared pan and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • While the dough rests, mix together butter, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl using fingers until all the butter has been incorporated into the sugar and mixture is crumbly.
  • Sprinkle evenly on top of rested dough and press the mixture down into the dough with your fingertips (or swirl in with a spatula.).
  • Place pan into a cold oven, then set the oven temperature to 350°F.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, until bread is lightly browned at the edges and the center of the bread springs back when lightly pressed. Some of the sugar mixture on top may still be bubbling.
  • Let cool slightly and frost or ice as desired.

  1. Excellent taste and so easy to put together! I doubled this, baked in a bundt pan and shared it with my friends at work. Goodness, within 5 minutes of putting it at the coffee station, I had 3 people come to my desk to tell me how good it was! I subbed half of the oil with melted butter. Next time, I think I'll add some chopped walnuts to the brown sugar mixture. Thanks for sharing this excellent recipe!
     
  2. I'm eating it warm out of the oven right now and it is quite delicious! I am giving it 4 starts, however, because I did end up having to add about 1/2 cup more flour because the dough seemed very runny when I mixed it all together. It came out lovely. I also added thin slices of apple into the dough before baking - just pushed them in here and there. Overall, a very nice treat: easy to make and tasty. Thanks for this recipe.
     
  3. This was a big hit! Easy to make.... Cleanly came out of the baking pan. Just a perfect little coffee cake. Tender crumb. I aslo made 1/2 of http://www.food.com/recipe/cinnamon-bun-icing-19239 recipe and drizzled that over it. I made it according to the recipe and the cake turned out beautiful.
     
  4. Wow! This is incredible and so easy, much faster and easier than cinnamon rolls. Light and cakey as is, don't be tempted to add additional flour. Only change I made was to double the recipe, use a 13x9 pan, and bake as directed. Drizzled with recipe #19239. Gorgeous and delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
     
  5. Excellent. I love it warm from the oven and cold with a hot cup of tea in the afternoon. Nice cake consitancy, and wonderful cinnamon taste. Deffinately TRY IT!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live in Pa (outside of Philadelphia) and cooking, baking, cross-stitching and reading are my hobbies. <br /> <br />I collect cookbooks and cookie stamps/cutters and have a pretty big collection of both. I am also a fan of all things Amish, so I have quite a collection of things picked up in Reading, Lancaster and surrounding areas here in Pennsylvania. <br /> <br />I have 4 kids, who are the loves of my life and cooking for them and my husband keeps me on my toes! ;) <br /> <br />We bought an ice cream parlor in March 04 and it's been quite an experience! <br /> <br />Note: I love getting feedback on my recipes; all I ask is that you actually *make* them before reviewing them. <br /> <br />Also, if you make changes or substitutions, I'd love to see your suggestions and/or comments, but I'd appreciate no rating at all if it's not made as posted. Too many recipe reviews state margarine subbed for butter (if I list butter, it's REAL butter), different spices, low-fat ingredients, whole wheat flour instead of white, etc. The recipes will not work/taste as intended, so it's really not fair to rate them as such. <br /> <br />I'd also really appreciate it if you refrain from rating a recipe if you overcook or overbake it or it you don't refrigerate or store as listed. <br /> <br />I, of course, will adhere to the above when rating recipes, too! <br /> <br />Thanks and have a great day! <br /> <br />My Rating System: <br /> <br />***** A delicious recipe that was thoroughly enjoyed. It has excellent, detailed directions and is perfect as is. If a dish is especially easy, and I'm on the fence, I will give it 5* for ease even if it's very good instead of great. Something I will definitely make again. <br /> <br />**** Excellent recipe but confusing directions that I will make again in my own less confusing way OR Very good recipe that I'll probably make again if I find the time! <br /> <br />*** Good/OK recipe but probably not something I would make again OR Very Good recipe that doesn't have clear, detailed directions. <br /> <br />** Recipe was edible but not really enjoyed and will not be made again. Work involved not a good trade-off for the end result. <br /> <br />* Not edible and probably an error in the recipe. I feel that I pick recipes with ingredients our family likes, so in my opinion, there's an error somewhere. If there's a chance I made the error, I won't rate the recipe. ;) <br /> <br /><img src=http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/lauralie41/swapbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><a href=http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/?action=view&amp;current=cookieswapparticip.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/cookieswapparticip.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/honey-pot-print-c10069558.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><a href=http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/?action=view&amp;current=09holidayparticipationbanner.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/09holidayparticipationbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a></p>
