Ingredients

  • 250 ml water 1 cup
  • 37 grams vegetable oil 3 tablespoons
  • 63 grams honey 3 tablespoons
  • 360 grams all-purpose flour 3 cups
  • grams salt 1½ teaspoons
  • 7 grams active yeast 2¼ teaspoons, or 1 envelope

For the Cinnamon Swirl

  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Add the warm water, oil, and honey to the bread maker pan. Most bread machines require you to load with wet ingredients first for proper mixing.
    250 ml water, 37 grams vegetable oil, 63 grams honey
  • Next, add the flour, salt, and yeast to the bread maker pan.
    360 grams all-purpose flour, 7 grams active yeast, grams salt
  • Close the bread maker, and set the program to either the White Bread, or Basic Bread for a 1.5 lb loaf with a light crust color.
  • After the second kneading completes, pause the bread maker program. Be sure to remove the dough paddle.
  • Remove the ball of dough and transfer it to a lightly floured work surface.
  • Roll the dough out with your hands or a rolling pin to about 10" x 14".
  • Mix the melted butter and ground cinnamon, brushing it over the surface of the dough rectangle.
    2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, 3 tablespoons butter
  • Starting at the narrow end, roll up the dough tightly. Tuck the two ends under the center of the rolled dough, and position the dough so the tucked end are centered over where the dough paddle used to be.
  • Close the bread machine and resume the bread making cycle. It will do a final rising, and then bake the loaf.
  • Remove from the bread maker, cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then tip out. Allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing.
