CINNAMON BREAD MACHINE BREAD RECIPES

Steps:

• Place milk, eggs, 1/4 cup butter, bread flour, sugar, salt, and yeast into a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer, select the dough setting, and start the machine. When dough cycle is complete, transfer dough to a floured work surface and punch down. Let dough rest for 10 minutes.
• Mix walnuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
• Divide dough in half and roll each half into a rectangle about 9x14 inches. Spread 1 tablespoon softened butter over the top of each dough rectangle and evenly sprinkle dough with half the walnut mixture. Roll dough rectangles, starting from the short ends, and pinch seams closed.
• Grease 2 9x5-inch loaf pans. Fit the rolled loaves into the loaf pans with seam sides down. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake loaves in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped, about 30 minutes. If loaves brown too quickly, lightly cover with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes of baking. Let bread cool for 10 minutes before removing to finish cooling on wire racks. Sprinkle tops of each loaf with 1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Place ingredients in the bread machine pan in the order suggested by the manufacturer.
• Bake using the sweet bread setting if your machine has it.
• If not, use white bread setting.
• When the bread is done, remove from the machine and let sit on a rack for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
• If it sticks, just loosen the sides with a pliable, plastic spatula and it should slip out easily.
• This makes a 1 1/2 pound loaf that rose really nicely.
• I did check the dough about 5, 10 minutes into the kneading cycle; if you squeeze a good amount of the dough between your thumb and fingers and it seems a bit moist, and some dough sticks to your fingers, it should be just right; if not, adjust with water or flour accordingly.
