How to make Cinnamon swirl bread
Dough
- In a large bowl add the flour, eggs, butter, yeast and milk.
- Knead them together until the dough gets a uniform texture.
- Cover the dough and place it to a 68°F – 81°F / 20°C – 27°C place to rise.
- After about 30 – 90 minutes depending on the temperature, the dough should be doubled or at least raised.
- Take the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. The recipe is for 2 rolls and will need to divide the dough into 4, possibly equal parts.
- Roll two pieces of the dough out to the size of our baking tin.
- Then roll it out in the other direction about 4 times as much.
Filling
- Cut the dried fruit and chocolate to the size we like them best.
- Cream butter, cinnamon and optional sweetener with an electric beater.
Assembly
- Spread half of the buttery cinnamon on top of one of the dough then sprinkle half of the dried chocolate on top.
- Place another dough on top. It doesn’t have to be pretty and luckily the dough will allow us plenty of adjustments one placed on each other.
- Roll it up gently. It doesn’t have to be tight.
- Sprinkle on some water then cover the dough with a cloth and put it back to a 68°F – 81°F / 20°C – 27°C place for 30 – 60 minutes to rise again.
- Once it’s risen, beat egg yolk and brush it on top.
- Put the dough into a preheated 365°F / 180°C oven and bake it until its top gets a lovely golden brown color, for about half an hour.
- Let it cool a bit then slice and serve.
Enjoy!
