  1. Started off looking great but once out of the oven it deflated. What did I do wrong?
     
  2. Can this dough recipe work for a 12x4.5” pan?
     
  3. I just purchased a bread machine. It says it makes a 2 pound loaf. How many pounds is this recipe?

  1. This was great! I make cinnamon buns or raisin bread for our Sunday morning breakfasts and this combined the two. My kids love it. I did cut back on the cinnamon though - more like 3 teaspoons instead of 3 tablespoons. I also didn't do the egg white and sugar thing at the end - enough sugar in the filling for us anyway. Thank you! This bread will become part of our family breakfasts!
     
  2. Disappointing. Although I carefully measured the liquid and softened the butter, the dough came out too stiff for the bread machine. I ended up throwing it out and starting over with a different recipe.
     
  3. Good bread and I will be making again. The kids really liked it. I had gaps from the rolling, however. Perhaps I didn't roll it tight enough. Next time I'll roll tighter and see if that helps. I also put into 2 loaf pans, and gave one away. Looks nice with the sugary crust.
     
  4. I'm not sure if I should say THANK YOU or not. I made this for my kids (4,3 and 1) and ever since then I hear "swirly toast" every time I ask them what they want for breakfast. Great recipe!
     
  5. THE BEST!! I put it on the dough setting then pull it roll it thin. i melt the butter and add the cinnamon and sugar. Then smear it an the dough, roll it up and slice it about 1 inch thick. place them on a small cookie sheet, i put extra butter, cin & sugar on the top, let them double and bake! we make these about once a month.

  1. So good, we've already made it twice! DH had a sudden stroke of genius and used cinnamon baking chips in place of the raisins. The loaf rose beautifully and browned to perfection in the oven. Really good as toast.
     
  2. Wow, this bread is amazing. I made it yesterday. I used one Tablespoon of cinnamon with brown sugar instead of white for the filling. It was very easy to roll out when it came out of the bread machine. It took only 30 minutes and the egg wash/sugar on top gave it a nice shiny topping. When it first came out and we tasted it, it tasted like a cinnamon bun. This morning we toasted it and it tasted like a fresh bakery type cinnamon bread, delicious. Oh and I didn't use raisins. I love this bread and plan to make it often, thanks for sharing it.
     
  3. YUMMY!!!!! Made almost exactly the same minus I found out that we had enough sugar for coffee SO I substituted with brown sugar for the bread and the filling- SO GOOD!!! THANKS FOR AN EASY AWESOME RECIPE!!! I must say --lol- I had an odd shaped roll which many would find amusing, I will try to post it, it looked like an anteater because when I rolled out, rolled up and put in bread pan I had to squish it in cause I rolled out too big therefore it rose funny BUT it didn't affect the tast which is the BEST part, and we all LAUGHED which is GREAT TOO!!!! THANKS AGAIN!!
     
  4. This is the best recipe for this kind of bread. Thanks!! I tried it with half whole wheat flour and substituted some honey for the sugar. Worked great. Also kneeded the old fashioned way, without the bread machine.
