    Making homemade cinnamon bread is easy, delicious and can cheer up a 14 year old while they are home sick. This bread is gooey, flavorful and has cinnamon and brown sugar in it. How can that go wrong?

    You can make this homemade bread with a bread machine or Kitchen Aid stand mixer. Either will work. The following recipe will describe how to make it in a stand mixer. To make it in the bread machine, simply layer all the ingredients in the recipe in the machine and set the setting to dough. Then proceed as the recipe below calls for.

    Homemade cinnamon bread is easy to make

    Yes, it is rather easy, especially if you have a stand mixer you can use. You can also use your elbow grease to mix the dough. This recipe is a basic sweet bread recipe with a butter, brown sugar and cinnamon mixture filling. You can use white sugar and cinnamon but I feel the brown sugar is richer and adds a depth of flavor to the bread.

    Put the ingredients into the mixing bowl in the order listed, with the yeast on top then mix using the dough hook. After the ingredients are mixed, the dough will need to rise.

    How long should the dough rise

    This is a hotly debated topic. How long should the dough rise for? Well, depends how you want your bread. We like our bread a little softer and more chewy. So, when I rise dough, I tend to let it rise for a shorter period of time. Like if it says 1 hour, maybe I would 40-45 minutes.

    Typically, the dough does rise for an hour then it rises again after it is in the pan for another hour. I don't usually have that kind of time. I will place the dough in the pan and let it rise while the oven is preheating. That takes about 10 minutes or so.

    Rolled out dough on a counter with a rolling pin

    To roll out the dough, place flour on the counter top and roll the dough out as wide as the pan, using the pan as reference.

    Then, layer butter, brown sugar and cinnamon on top of dough. Roll the dough up starting at the shortest end.

    You can brush the top of the dough with melted butter to help the dough turn a golden brown. Then bake.

    Other ingredient options

    You can use honey and cinnamon in the swirl part of the bread if you want a healthier option. I do use this on occasion, especially now we have our own bees and honey. It is so delicious!

    Serve this bread alongside strawberry lettuce salad or Hamburger Helper Beef Pasta.

    It also would be good with breakfast or brunch recipes such as cheesy sausage hashbrown casserole or egg hashbrown burritos.
