Homemade Cinnamon Swirl Bread

By A Cultivated Nest Team

Cinnamon Yeast Bread Recipe.

I am a HUGE fan of homemade bread and pastries. I am over here wanting to munch on all the bread all the time! One reason why I am addicted to that moist, fluffy homemade quick bread is that you can eat it for an easy breakfast, brunch, or even a tasty snack. You don’t have to limit it to just one time of day. Plus, if you put a piece of warm bread in front of your kids, they are going to make it disappear faster than you can slice the next piece. When you sink your teeth into this Cinnamon Swirl Bread, you are going to be hooked!

Not only will you love the flaky crust, moist center, and amazing cinnamon flavor, but you will enjoy baking this, too. The entire house is going to fill with the aroma of cinnamon bread baking in the oven. What’s better than that? Your family and your taste buds are going to thank you! On a side note, you could even bake this bread to sell at bake sales, too, or just give it away as a delicious homemade gift.
