Cinnamon Bread

Come to me, my sweet, soft, warm cinnamon bread. Make this on a cold weekend morning and watch your family go wild. Don’t tell them how easy it is to make. I don’t have specific measurements in this recipe-just use as much or as little margarine/butter and cinnamon as you like.

Ingredients:

1 loaf of frozen bread dough, thawed according to package directions

Tub margarine or butter

Cinnamon

Vanilla glaze (see below)

Directions: Let dough rise, following package directions, in a loaf pan liberally coated with cooking spray. Bake according to package directions; however, cook it ten minutes less than called for. Remove the loaf from the pan and slice with a serrated knife (you’ll get 10 or so ½ inch thick slices from one loaf), cutting not quite all the way through to the bottom of the loaf.

Spread one side of each slice with margarine or butter and then sprinkle in cinnamon-as much or as little as you like. Push the slices back into a loaf shape and place on a foil lined baking sheet. Bake for the remaining 10 minutes.

Let the bread cool for about 5 minutes. Slightly separate each slice of bread and drizzle the vanilla glaze all over the loaf, even down between the slices.

Vanilla Glaze:

1 ½ cups powdered sugar

2 to 3 Tablespoons water

1 teaspoon vanilla
