Cinnamon bread made in a bread machine is wonderful for breakfast or dinner. Whether baked plain or with a swirl, it results in a soft and fluffy loaf. To make cinnamon bread in a bread machine, follow the basic steps using your cinnamon bread recipe and the instructions found in your bread machine’s user manual.
Generally, you might combine all the wet ingredients in the bread pan. Then, you add the dry ingredients, including the cinnamon and yeast, on top of the liquid ingredients. Close the lid and select the appropriate program to allow the machine to mix, knead, and bake the dough. Although the cinnamon is mixed directly into the dough rather than swirled, it still infuses the bread with delicious flavor. You can also add raisins.
Bread Machine Cinnamon Bread Recipes
Cinnamon bread from a bread machine is incredibly tasty, making it a sweet snack or a delicious breakfast bread when spread with butter or cream cheese and enjoyed with coffee or tea. Once you make it, it will likely become one of your favorite breads to bake.
To make homemade cinnamon bread, try recipes from your bread machine’s manual or online recipes. When making cinnamon-raisin bread in a bread machine, any type of milk will work, but full-fat milk produces the richest, most delicious bread. This holds true for most bread recipes.
A typical bread machine cinnamon bread recipe requires instant yeast, sugar, bread flour, salt, cinnamon, vanilla, butter, eggs and water. Place the ingredients in the order specified by the bread machine’s manual.
You can also use the dough setting on your bread machine to make cinnamon swirl bread dough. After the dough is ready, shape the loaves, fill them with cinnamon swirl, and bake in the oven.
Bread Machine Cinnamon-Raisin Bread
A cinnamon-raisin bread recipe for a bread machine typically contains key ingredients like flour, salt, ground cinnamon, yeast, and raisins. Carefully measure and add all ingredients except the raisins into the bread pan in the order specified by the bread machine’s instruction book.
Be sure to add the raisins when the machine signals for the raisins to be added, usually 10 minutes before the final kneading cycle ends. If your machine has an automatic fruit and nut dispenser, you can load the raisins into the dispenser box in the lid.
To create swirls, let the machine mix the dough, remove it to roll out, add the swirl’s ingredients, roll it back up by hand, then return it to the pan before the baking cycle. Alternatively, you can let the machine knead and bake the loaf without swirls.
In summary, add the ingredients as listed for your machine, omitting the raisins initially unless using a dispenser. Select the sweet bread setting, and add raisins when signaled. Once baked, remove the loaf, and let it cool for one or two hours before slicing. The basic process resembles other yeast breads: wet ingredients first, other dry ingredients in a well atop the flour. Use the sweet bread setting due to the sugar and raisins.
Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls
Bread machine cinnamon rolls have a dough that is easy to make. Simply add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order specified by the recipe. Typical ingredients include warm milk, oil or melted butter, an egg, sugar, flour, salt, and yeast.
For best results, follow this order when adding ingredients to the bread machine. First, add the liquid ingredients like warm milk, eggs, oil or melted butter. Next, add the dry ingredients like sugar, flour, salt and yeast. Select the dough cycle and press start. The bread machine will knead and proof the dough with no effort on your part.
The bread machine does the work of kneading and proofing the dough. Once kneaded, shape the dough into rolls, fill with cinnamon-sugar, and let it rise again. Finally, bake the rolls right in the bread machine, or in an oven, for a tender interior and crispy crust.
In brief, with the right technique, you can make a fluffy, moist cinnamon bread in a bread machine.
