I'm the submitter of the recipe. I'm so glad many of you have enjoyed our family recipe. I've put practically everything under the sun in this bread! A favorite of my family is chopped bittersweet chocolate and dried tart cherries. It's divine. It's also good to add cocoa to the dough to make chocolate bread.

Delicious sweet bread and very easy to make, thanks for the recipes.

This was pretty simple to make using my Kitchen Aid mixer. I proofed the yeast in my mixer bowl with the warm milk and sugar for ten minutes, then added the whisked egg, vanilla, and butter. After that had combined well, I added the combined flour and salt. After that had combined, I took the submitter's advice and added dried Craisins. I had to add an additional 1/2 c. flour to get the dough to jump on the hook, but once it did, I let it knead with the hook for about five minutes or so. I then let it rise in a greased metal pan on my warm oven, covered with a moist towel, for an hour. After that, I divided the bread into two loaves, rolled it out and added the butter and brown sugar. I formed it into loaves and set them in the loaf pans and covered them again with the moist towel and let them rise for a second time for about fourty-five minutes. It only needed to bake for about a half hour. I don't usually time my breads, you just kind of know after a while. They smell done. This was a fun bread to make and smells out of sight when baking. Quite the stress reliever. No way you can be upset when smelling a wonderful sweet bread baking! Thanks, Valerie. NOTE: I did use unsalted butter, lowfat buttermilk, organic flour and brown sugar Splenda. For those of you who are timid bread makers, just go for it. I used to be, but now I really enjoy making bread by hand. Use your Kitchen Aid. It cuts your work in half!

WOW! that is the best cinnamon bread i've ever eaten! i did use whole wheat flour instead of white- still fabulous. the only problem i had was that it formed a "skin" on the outside while rising, but that was because i left it to rise while i was at work (a/b 3 hours or so). after i punched it down and rolled it out, it was fine though.

This smelled so good while baking and my husband I I couldn't help but eat half of the first loaf when it came out! I made it in my bread machine on dough cycle and then rolled it out and doubled up on the filling. I put both loaves to rise and they rose up very nicely before baking! So good, I am making these for holiday goodie baskets.

Perfect. No change. I used ground walnuts for the filling. Just like I remember only better.

This was perfect. Very esy to make. I let mine rise at about 75 degrees. The dough was very moist yet fluffy, and it tasted like cinnamon rolls! I brushed the loaves again with melted butter fresh out of the oven, which gave them a pretty sheen and took care of any dryness they might have had.

I'm eating it as I type, absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS, although next time I'm going to almost double the cinnamon and brown sugar and make it thinner so there's more swirls. Not to mention Quadrupling the recipe, I took them out of the over less than ten minutes ago and they're gone! Yum :)

Easy to make in my bread machine on dough cycle. Super yummy right out of the oven, but also equally yummy in the toaster! Will make again!!

My family loves the apple cinnamon bread from costco, so I added one finely chopped granny smith to the dough with the wet ingredients. Wonderful!
