Source: Better Homes and Gardens
1 package active dry yeast
1/3 cup warm water (120 degrees F. to 130 degrees F.)
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom or nutmeg
1/2 cup cold butter
2 beaten eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup ground almonds
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom or allspice
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Milk (optional)
Coarse sugar (optional)
1. In a small mixing bowl soften yeast in warm water; set aside. In a large mixing bowl stir together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, the 1/4 cup brown sugar, salt, and the 1/2 teaspoon cardamom or nutmeg. Cut in the cold butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in the softened yeast, eggs, milk, and almond extract until combined. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or until dough is easy to handle.
2. For filling, stir together ground almonds, the 3 tablespoons brown sugar, granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cardamom or allspice; set aside.
3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 3 portions. Shape each portion into a ball. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Gently roll out each portion of dough to a 10-inch circle. Place 1 circle on a 12-inch pizza pan or a large baking sheet lined with greased foil. Brush with half of the melted butter; sprinkle with half of the filling. Cover with another circle of dough. Brush with remaining butter; sprinkle with remaining filling. Top with the last dough circle.
4. With kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut the stack of dough into 12 wedges, cutting to within 1 inch of the center. Carefully lift each wedge and turn over twice to create a twist in each piece. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours before baking.
5. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before baking. If desired, brush with milk; sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake in a 350 degree F. oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when lightly tapped. Cool slightly on foil on a wire rack. Serve warm. To serve, transfer bread to a serving platter; cut into wedges. Makes 12 servings.

I first created this recipe so that it would be easy enough for my 13-year-old daughter, a cinnamon lover, to make. The bread is slightly sweeter than that regular white bread and is has an extra cinnamon flavor. The sugary cinnamon swirl that goes through the middle adds an extra punch to the bread. This 1-loaf recipe makes a great breakfast bread and a great replacement for pre-made pastries bought in the store. Prep Time: 2 hours Cook Time: 45 minutes Ingredients: - 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3 cups flour
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
Preparation: - In small saucepan, warm milk and 1 tbsp butter until butter is melted. Set aside until lukewarm.
- In small bowl, mix water and yeast until yeast is dissolved.
- In large bowl, add 2 tbsp sugar, salt, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Pour in lukewarm milk and butter. Mix until sugar and salt is dissolved. Stir in yeast and water.
- Mix in 2-1/2 cups flour. Turn out onto floured board and knead in the remaining half cup of flour or until the dough is soft and smooth.
- Put dough in greased bowl and turn dough so that the top is greased. Cover and let rise in warm place for about 60 minutes, or until double in size.
- Punch down dough with your fist. Turn dough out onto floured board and knead for about 1 minute.
- Roll dough out into a basic rectangular shape. Use a butter knife or fingers to spread 2 tbsp softened butter on the top of rectangular dough. Evenly spread about 2 tbsp sugar and 1 tbsp cinnamon on top of butter.
- Roll up dough and form into 1 loaf. Put into buttered bread pan. Cover and let rise until double in size, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven 375 degrees F.
- Score dough by cutting three slashes across the top with a sharp knife. Put in oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until golden brown.
- Turn out bread and let cool on a rack or dishtowel
