Oh my stars! I got a bread machine over a year ago and I like making things with it, but I’m not too adventurous. Because of some possible food allergies in our family, I wanted to try making our own bread. So I put a message out on Facebook, asking if anyone had a bread machine that I could borrow for a bit to see if I liked it. Well, a friend just gave me hers! She had two of them, but her children were grown and gone now, so she only needed one. If I didn’t end up using it, I’d just return it back to her.
Well, we use it! I do make our own bread (but usually for garlic bread or croutons, not usually for sandwiches) and I make pizza crust with it. But I’m starting to venture out a little more. Over Christmas Break last year, I tried to make Cinnamon Bread with it — oh, yes! So delicious! It’s great when it first comes out of the oven, but it really shines as toast! Just toast up a slice or two, butter it – delicious!! Even my husband declared it the best thing he’d eaten in quite a while. (Which is kind of a compliment, but considering that most of what he eats is also made by me….)
This recipe makes 2 loaves and my boys will eat through those in a couple of days, easily. It’s also the type of bread that makes a good gift. For neighbors. Teachers. Friends. Homemade bread? Cinnamon & sugar deliciousness? Who wouldn’t want that!? In fact, next Christmas season, I might invest in mini bread loaf pans and see if I can master that size. It’s just that good.
