Whole Wheat Cinnamon Swirl Bread Recipe - A Delicious and Healthy Treat
Looking for a healthy and delicious bread recipe? Try our Whole Wheat Cinnamon Swirl Bread! This bread is made with whole wheat flour, which is rich in fiber and nutrients, and has a delicious cinnamon swirl that adds a touch of sweetness and warmth to every slice.
Ingredients (for 1 loaf):
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure your yeast is fresh and active. If it's not, your bread won't rise properly.
- Knead the dough well to develop the gluten and create a light and airy texture.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, honey, oil, water, egg, salt, and yeast until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
3. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
4. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and brown sugar.
5. Roll out the dough into a rectangle and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over it.
6. Roll up the dough tightly and place it in a greased loaf pan.
7. Cover the pan with a damp towel and let the bread rise for another 30 minutes.
8. Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, until it's golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
