Easy Cinnamon Bread

http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/easy-cinnamon-bread-recipe

• 3 cups 12.75 ounces King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour OR Perfect Pastry Blend
• 1/2 3.5 ounces cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup warm milk
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup cinnamon chips or cinnamon Flav-R-Bites
• Cinnamon-Sugar Plus or cinnamon-sugar, for topping

) In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, yeast, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder.

2) In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, butter, and egg.

3) Combine the wet and dry ingredients, beating until smooth.

4) Stir in the cinnamon chips or Flav-R-Bites. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 1 hour, covered. Towards the end of the rest, preheat the oven to 350°F.

5) Spoon the batter into a greased 8 1/2? x 4 1/2? loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with cinnamon-sugar.

6) Bake the bread for 35 to 40 minutes, until it tests done; a cake tester inserted into the center will come out clean.

7) Remove the bread from the oven, let it rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it from the pan to a rack to cool completely.

Note: Don't slice the bread while it's hot! It'll slice much better when it's completely cool.

Yield: 1 loaf.
