Whole Wheat Cinnamon Swirl Bread

There is such thing as love at first sight and I don’t care what you say.

For instance, when I saw Pepperidge Farm cinnamon swirl bread for the first time in the grocery store years ago, it was love. I hadn’t even tasted it yet but I knew. You always know.

Shoes are another great example…but we won’t go there.

Today, let’s just talk about this bread instead. And how amazingly soft and fluffy it is, despite being whole wheat, with spicy sweet swirls of cinnamon sugar all throughout.

I made it last Thursday and by mid-day Friday it was all gone. Every last crumb. I don’t know how that happened! How rude.

You start with a very basic dough. Yes, you CAN do this! It’s really no frills: just whole wheat flour, white flour, a smidge of butter, yeast, milk, water and sugar.

New to baking with yeast? Read all about this friendly little fungus here!

The reason I use half whole wheat flour and not 100% all whole wheat flour is because whole wheat flour is very dense (due to a reduction of gluten development)…to create a super soft loaf, I used half and half. You still get the benefits of the whole wheat without the stone-like characteristics. Kinda like my pizza dough!

After a little rise, you just roll out your dough and smear it with butter, cinnamon and sugar. Well actually, I used Earth Balance not butter because I was out and clearly too lazy to walk the two blocks to the store.

Ain’t he cute? A wee bread butt.

40 minutes later……

Delicious smelling, soft, fluffy cinnamon swirl bread! No raisins ’cause they’re nasty not my cup of tea. The bread made a great snack and an even better breakfast the next morning, toasted and spread with some almond butter + more cinnamon sugar.

This bread was a total experiment and I let out a long sigh of relief when it worked. Sometimes things just don’t work…like the tomato feta pie I slaved over all day on Friday only to have it fail miserably. Poor Adam ate it anyway. Then brought me wine when I cried that my life was ending because I couldn’t make a simple pie. What a guy.

Anyway.

Double the recipe and make two loaves! One for you and one to freeze for later. Or better yet, for your sweet neighbor or friend.

Baking = Love.

Whole Wheat Cinnamon Swirl Bread

makes one loaf

Print this recipe!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup warm milk

1/2 cup warm water

1 (1/4th oz) package yeast

1/2 cup sugar + 1 tbsp

6 Tbsp softened butter (or earth balance buttery spread), divided

1 cup whole wheat flour

2 cups all purpose flour

1.5 Tbsp cinnamon, divided

1 1/4 tsp salt

1 egg + 2 Tbsp warm water

Directions:

Combine your warm milk, water, yeast and 2 tsp sugar in a measuring cup and let sit for 10 minutes until foamy. The temperature of the milk/water should be about 100 degrees…about the same temperature as a warm bubble bath but not too hot.

While the yeast is resting, combine the flours, 1/3 cup sugar, 3 tbsp softened butter, salt and 1 tbsp cinnamon in a large bowl. If you’re using a kitchen aid, use a paddle attachment and start to mix on slow. Then, drizzle in the water mixture while the machine is running. Increase speed to high and mix for about 6-8 minutes, until smooth and elastic. If you’re working by hand, simply add the water mixture to the dry ingredients and knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth. Put some muscle into it!

Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and place dough ball in. Cover with a cloth and let rise for 1.5 hours in the warmest spot of the house. I like to rise dough on top of the dryer when I’m drying my clothes.

While the dough is rising, mix together the remaining 3 T butter with the extra 1.5 tsp cinnamon and 1 tbsp sugar in a small bowl until smooth. After the dough has risen to double it’s size, roll out with a rolling pin on a floured surface to a long rectangle. Smear the butter mixture all over the top and roll up tightly.

Place dough in a greased loaf pan, cover with cloth and let rise for another hour in a warm spot.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together the egg and warm water then brush all over loaf. Bake for 40 minutes. Let cool and slice.

Time:

about 3 hours

    I can’t wait to make this! I’ve been slowly ticking things off my “intimidating recipes list” including macaroons, crepes & curry. Next on the list: bread! And, I think this will be it.

    Unfortunately, the way it’s going (see my macaroon post for disastrous details), I need at least four tries before I get it right.

    I finally made this yesterday and it is absolutely delicious!!! My whole family loves it!! I have a fair bit of baking experience but think this is so easy for anyone. I didn’t find my yeast to get very foamy but since I had just used that yeast earlier for a no-knead bread, I didn’t worry and just dumped it in. I popped it into my plain old 9×5 loaf pan and it was perfect. A gorgeous loaf!!!
    And for those asking, I’d recommend baking then freezing. While I did pop a second loaf of this into the freezer last night πŸ™‚ I freeze other loaves all the time and it works fine. Once the bread is cool, I wrap it tightly in foil then put in a ziploc bag. Works every time!!
    Thanks so much for sharing this delicious recipe!! Now tonight – your tamale pie!!

    Finally got around to making this bread today. Made one loaf for me and my boys and one loaf as a gift for family who just moved into town. A little bit of home in a loaf! It’s amazing! Anything cinnamon and I’m in.

    FYI, I made it with rapid rise yeast and it worked just fine. Never tried that before–usually use the old fashioned stuff.

    Saw you are sick. I had strep throat last week and was miserable! Hope you feel better!

    Hey, Jenna –

    Getting ready to make this and I just wanted to let you know that your ingredients list and directions talk about different amounts. It mentions adding cinnamon to the bread, but only 1-1/2 T is in the ingredients list (for the smear). The sugar amounts are also different throughout. Nothing catastrophic, but just something you might want to fix real quick! Can’t wait to make it..looks delish!

    Thanks!

    • jenna
      February 19, 2012 at 7:26 am

      Thanks, Emily! I’m going to have a look at it right now.

      Looks like the amount of cinnamon says “divided” in the recipe and then in the instructions it tells you how much to use for both the bread and the smear. I believe that it’s 1 tsp in the bread itself and 1.5 tsp in the smear. Hope that helps!

      • Kymberly H
        May 24, 2012 at 9:09 am

        I believe in the recipe it states 1 tbsp in the bread. I was wondering why my dough was a lot darker color then yours. Oh well, I hope the extra cinnamon doesn’t affect the taste.

  • Emily W.
    February 19, 2012 at 11:34 am

    I am munching on it right now! YUMMMMM! It’s like a cinnamon roll in bread form. Mine is a bit denser (Hard to find a warm spot in this cold house!) so I had to bake it for 50 instead of 40 minutes. I also used 1/2c sugar like the ingredient list says, not 1/3c like the directions say. For my filling, I used 1.5T cinnamon and 1.5 T sugar. Perfect weekend recipe! πŸ™‚

    Well, I am happy as a clam. I googled “cinnamon whole wheat bread” just HOPING I’d find something similar to Pepperidge Farm’s, and BINGO this is what popped up! I’ve printed this and can’t wait to try it out – maybe this weekend. Thanks Jenna!

    Oh bummer! What did I do wrong, Jenna? This bread didn’t work out for me. It simply didn’t rise, at all. Could my yeast have been dead? How can one tell? Could this bread work as a non-yeast bread? how would you modify the recipe to make it yeast-free?
    Thanks for any advice πŸ™‚
    PS. I’m totally a novice bread-maker

    I randomly googled Whole Wheat Cinnamon bread because I had a huge bag of WW flour. That was a week ago. I have made this FOUR times since then. Bless you.

    I made this bread today for the first time and it came out great. I doubled the recipe and added a little brown sugar & nutmeg to the spread mixture. I wasn’t able to roll it quite as perfectly as it shows in the picture, so I rolled the ends under and when I baked them, they came out beautifully. This is delicious and I will definitely make it again!

    I just made this for the first time the other day and it is SOOOOO GOOD! Thanks so much for the recipe! It was my first time ever attempting to make a bread from scratch (not counting quick breads). I couldn’t believe it actually turned out (baking and I usually don’t go well together – ha!). My husband and two sons (4 and 2 years old) couldn’t get enough. I know what we will be eating for breakfast this fall!
