Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon (natural flavoring)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp natural gelling agent
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk
Cinnamon Sugar Swirl
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon (natural flavoring)
Instructions
- Prepare the Yeast Mixture: Mix the warm water with active dry yeast and a pinch of sugar in a bowl. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until frothy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and natural gelling agent in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine plant-based milk and vegetable oil. Pour in the yeast mixture once ready and stir gently.
- Form the Dough: Add wet ingredients to the dry mix and stir until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let It Rise: Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Swirl: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl while the dough rises.
- Shape the Bread: Punch down the dough, roll it into a rectangle on a floured surface, evenly sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture, then roll tightly to create swirls.
- Final Rise and Bake: Place rolled dough into a loaf pan, cover, and let rise for 30-45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
Notes
- Ensure dough rises in a warm, draft-free environment.
- Use just enough flour to prevent sticking but avoid excess to keep bread soft.
- Roll dough evenly for consistent cinnamon sugar swirls.
- Tap loaf to check doneness; it should sound hollow when fully baked.
- Cool bread for at least 15 minutes before slicing to maintain texture.
