Homemade Cinnamon Swirl Bread

This bread is one of my kid’s favorite things to eat as a snack or even toasted up for breakfast. I used to buy the cinnamon bread from Costco, which my kids went crazy for, but after making this recipe, I’ve never gone back! This cinnamon swirl bread is so easy to make! If you have never made any bread before, this is a great place to start. Plus, it’s sweet and delicious so you won’t regret it! My favorite part about this bread is that it isn’t too overpowering on the cinnamon flavor. It’s just the right amount so that I’m not too overwhelmed when I take a bite. I like to bake a few loaves up so that we can have it for the week. When I am looking to make a large breakfast then I cook it with this casserole, bacon, and maybe even some muffins. This is a great one to add to any brunch that you might want to host!

Ingredients for Cinnamon Swirl Bread

This bread has the perfect amount of cinnamon in it to make it taste absolutely amazing. See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for a list of exact ingredient measurements.

Active Dry Yeast: 1 packet is enough for a loaf of this bread. Milk: Make sure to get the temperature of the milk just right so that you dont kill the yeast. Sugar: This is just enough sugar to sweeten it up without making it too sweet. Egg: A room temperature egg will mix in so much better. Butter: I used unslated butter that was softened to room temperature. Salt: The salt will enhance all of the other flavors in the bread. Flour: All purpose flour works great for this bread. Ground Cinnamon: This not only creates a great taste but that gorgeous swirl that really makes the bread look fancy!

Cinnnamon Bread Instructions

This cinnamon swirl bread is super delicious and can be topped with some cinnamon butter to take it to the next level! If I were you, I would make a couple of loaves of this. It’s going to fly off of your counter!

Yeast: Because I used active dry yeast in this recipe, it needs to be proofed in warm liquids. In this case, that is milk! Make sure that you double check the temperature of yuor milk (it should be no warmer than 110 degrees). If it’s too hot it will kill your yeast and your cinnamon swirl bread won’t rise. Roll it tight: When you are rolling up the bread, make sure to roll it up tight and don’t forget to pinch the dough closed. Doing this makes it rise well and keep its shape! Don’t open the oven: Maybe this goes without saying but I thought I would remind you just in case! I know that when you bake something, it’s tempting to open up the oven to check on it but don’t do it! This lets out all of the hot air and can cause your bread to bake unevenly. Use the oven light instead!
