If you bake at all, then you can bake this bread. \u00a0Not only is it incredibly easy, but the ingredient list makes me oh so very happy. \u00a0I almost always have every single item in my kitchen. \u00a0Glorious! \u00a0The only thing that I didn’t have was buttermilk and we all know how easy it is to make your own buttermilk, don’t we? \u00a0If not, see this blog<\/a>. \u00a0I do love Smitten Kitchen. \u00a0Her blog makes me hungry.<\/p>\n

Back to the cinnamon bread.<\/p>\n

I made this for a neighbor who I made some cinnamon Amish friendship bread for a while back. \u00a0He kept asking me to make more of it, but I’d let my starter die and couldn’t do it. \u00a0I found this to be a great substitute and I can make it without having to keep feeding the friendship starter and making more loaves than I could ever hope to eat.<\/p>\n

The recipe is from allrecipes.com, here is the link<\/a> to the original recipe. \u00a0I changed the method for mixing the batter together to something I was more comfortable with. \u00a0I doubt it makes much of a difference, if any. \u00a0For the topping I used 2 tablespoons of melted butter and about 3 tablespoons of cinnamon sugar I already had mixed up. \u00a0Maybe this mixture swirled on top of the batter made it rise up all weird in the center but not on the edges? \u00a0I don’t know. \u00a0It isn’t pretty, but it is good. \u00a0Enjoy.<\/p>\n
