Cinnamon Bread


September is here and while it is still in the 90s here in El Paso, fall is coming and I am so excited! I can smell the spice breads and pumpkin recipes... they are on the way!

This cinnamon bread was calling my name and I was not disappointed. It is a mix between a quick bread and a yeast bread. There is yeast in the dough and it rises for an hour before mixing in the remaining ingredients and baking. I didn't read the recipe (major rule broken!) and accidentally mixed in the baking powder in the beginning but the bread still turned out great.

Enjoy!

So I'm not alone in breaking the rules? :) We are supposed to finally cool down to normal temps for Northern NY by this weekend (mid-60's). I am anxious for all the apple, pumpkin and butternut squash dishes we love!
