directions

  • Put ingredients into bread machine in the order in which they are listed.
  • Run through the dough cycle but remove dough before it rests to rise.
  • Roll out dough on lightly floured surface into a rectangle.
  • Spread with softened or melted butter and sprinkle with sugar and a very generous amount of cinnamon.
  • Roll up tightly, as for cinnamon rolls.
  • Moisten edge with water and seal.
  • Place in greased pan (s), cover and let rise until double.
  • Be patient, as rising time is totally dependent on your starter and how active it is.
  • Uncover and bake at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Brush tops with butter.
  • Remove from pan and cool on rack.
  • Note: You can make this into one large loaf, or several mini loaves.

Questions & Replies

  1. I do not have instant mashed potatoes. Is there something else I can use to replace them such as homemade mashed potatoes or apple sauce? Would it hurt if I skipped it all together?

  1. Have made this a few times and never had a problem with finished loaf rising. Love to mix a few craisins (dried cranberries) and chopped pecans in the swirl. Then use finished bread to slice, dry out a little and use for French toast! Thanks for the recipe!
     
  2. Just took loaf out of oven. Made a large loaf (baked for 45-50 minutes), baked perfectly. Husband and son both agreed, best cinnamon bread I've made. My son claims it tasted like a cinnabon. I thought the crust was excellent, light and crunchy. The crumb was tender, and the sour was not too overpowering. I think this recipe is a keeper!
     
  3. Oh my goodness! This bread is amazing! My kids are gobbling it right up as I type. I couldn't find my bread flour and it still turned out great using all purpose flour only. Next time I will use my bread flour though to make it even better!
     
  4. This bread was great and I will be making it again. I spread butter and sprinkled cinnemon but forgot the sugar. It was still good. I used good bubbly starter and yet it still took 5 hours to rise with most of the rise coming in the last hour. Next time I will roll it tighter and not forget the sugar. We love this as toast even when just baked.
     
  5. I am a well seasoned baker, having owned my own bakery before I retired. I tried to make this bread today, with no success, threrefore~no stars. I followed the recipe exactly as written, using my very active 4 year old Alaskan Sourdough Starter. I got the bread into the pans and it never did rise. After waiting more than 5 hours, I finally decided to throw it out. WHAT A WAIST OF MY TIME and Quality Ingredients.
