Cinnamon Bread Ingredients

FLOUR & LEAVENING Basic white bread dough ingredients start this sweet tasting, fragrant bread. And baking powder plus baking soda make it rise while baking, so no waiting for hours while the dough rises!

SUGAR Switching out a bit of the white sugar for brown sugar, and adding a hefty dose of cinnamon give this bread its deeply fragrant aroma and sweet and savory flavor.

DAIRY Butter, eggs, and the buttermilk added to the flour create a deliciously tangy and creamy textured loaf that’s just perfect with the flavor of cinnamon.

Variations

Cinnamon bread pairs well with raisins and other fun mix-ins like chopped apples, bananas, even walnuts, and pecans.
Try making a streusel or crumble topping using flour, brown sugar, and butter with some chopped walnuts or oats mixed in!

Quick Bread Tips & Tricks

Always measure flour by scooping lightly and then using a butter knife to scrape across the top, evening the flour out. Avoid overpacking the measuring cup. Check out this tutorial for How to Measure Flour.
Ensure all ingredients are room temperature.
Mix in dry ingredients just until combined, overmixing will cause a dry/tough quick breads.
Ovens and baking pans can vary, check your bread at least 10 minutes early to ensure it doesn’t overcook.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan about 5 minutes, remove from the pan and place on a cooling rack to cool completely.
Lining the pan with parchment paper makes it easy to lift the loaf out once cooked.
