Braided Cinnamon Bread

We had this deelish braided cinnamon bread for
breakfast while we opened Christmas gifts.
rolled the 'ropes' in cinnamon before braiding
and omitted the egg wash before baking.
Then glazed it after it baked and cooled.
We liked it so much I may have to do it again
for New Year's Morning!
I bet chopped pecans would be yummy sprinkled
on the wet glaze. I'll let you know! :)

  13. No, you don't need any pecans on it. I don't think I see any nasty raisins polluting it either. ;) I want you to be my next door neighbor, and we'll have coffee and braided cinnamon bread, or something else yummy, every morning, and afternoon too for that matter. We can wear warm mittens you make, or you can teach me and I'll make them for us. We'll share antique jewelry and such and see if we really do sound alike or if it's just an illusion. Then somehow we have to figure out how you're going to exercise it all off for both of us!

  15. Kayren ~ it's a deal...but only if you teach me how to crochet and get organized like you! hee! That sounds like so much fun!

  16. Subby ~ I've found it best just to gobble it all up or put it in the freezer. If it sits and stares at you and calls your name all day, it's just torture! ha!

  17. I don't think there's anything better than warm bread. This looks amazing.

  20. It looks delicious...and I vote for pecans on top. I love the plate, too. Are those black eyed susans along the edge? It makes for a great presentation : )

  21. LadyCat ~ those are pansies around the plate edge. :)

  32. I made this for New Year's Day morning. The first loaf was gobbled up at breakfast and the second was gone later in the day when they all came in from the snow and had hot chocolate. The kids have been asking me to make it again every single day. :) Success! I made the dough New Year's Eve and kept the braided dough covered and chilled until morning. After a longer rise time they came out even better than I expected. Thanks for sharing the recipe for what will probably become a Holiday tradition.
