Cinnamon Swirl Bread – Heaven

15 Jun

Going out to dinner at some restaurants is usually the perfunctory means to an end, to no longer be hungry for a time.

However, there are a couple of restaurants  in Columbia who make their own desserts and I always happily enjoy my meal all the while looking forward to dessert.  I know, how shallow.  Yes, of course I enjoy the rest of the meal.  As you would, because in these establishments, they really cook.  You know what I am talking about don’t you?

Here’s the deal, I just sliced into a warm loaf of heaven.  Bread is not something I often bake.  Usually desserts are the types of selections I make.  Lately, I have baked bread from Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day. The heavenly loaf I baked today is more dessert like.  Wow, it is soft and tender and mildly sweet with a hint of orange citrus and  cinnamon held up with a bit of cocoa.

As mentioned previously, I don’t bake bread that often and I can say that this is an easy bread recipe.  I think you  should ignore the “yeast” word, pick up your apron strings, and get busy with this one.  The instructions are direct and not scary at all.    I am a little nervous about having this lovely bread around.  Anyone want some?

Ah Gee, what was I thinking?  Susan, I am so excited that you chose this recipe, because secretly I almost pointed and clicked on this lovely bread recipe.  Thank you, thank you, thank you for your Food Baby Blog, where ladies and gentle bread eaters you may obtain the recipe for yourselves.  So …. hop to it!  Yes, of course the recipe is also in Baking From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan. Do yo have it yet?

Thanks for stopping by and have some warm bread, yum, for me.

Guess what, one more thing.  Next week it is my turn to host with this fabulous and fun variety of wonderful bakers.  I can’t wait, please come and see.  XOXO
