Ingredients
For the bread:
- 5 ½ to 6 cups (682-744g) all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons (38g) granulated sugar
- 2 packets (16g) Fleischmann's® RapidRise® Yeast 4 ½ teaspoons
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 ½ cups (355ml) water
- ½ cup (118ml) milk (any kind)
- 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted or salted butter
For the filling:
- 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted or salted butter melted
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine 2 cups (248g) flour, sugar, dry yeast and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and stir until blended. Combine water, milk and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH in 15 second increments until very warm but not hot to the touch (120° to 130°F. Butter won’t melt completely). Add to flour mixture.
- Beat 2 minutes at medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1 cup (124g) flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in just enough remaining flour so that the dough will form into a ball.
- Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic and springs back when lightly pressed with 2 fingers, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cover with a towel; let rest for 10 minutes.
- Cut dough into 2 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a 12 x 7-inch rectangle using a rolling pin. Brush each piece with melted butter. Stir together the cinnamon and sugar for the filling and sprinkle on each rectangle.
- Beginning at short end of each rectangle, roll up tightly. Pinch seams and ends to seal. Place, seam sides down, in two 8½ x 4½ inch loaf pans that have been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Cover with towel; let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
- Bake in preheated 400ºF oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans by running a knife around the edges and invert onto wire rack.

Notes
- To make cinnamon raisin bread, sprinkle 1 cup of raisins over the cinnamon sugar in step 4.
- You can use bread machine yeast in this recipe to make this in a bread machine. I don't recommend using active dry yeast as the recipe is written.
- Wrap cooled bread well in plastic wrap and freeze for up to a month.
- Homemade bread doesn't last as long as store bought - enjoy this within 2 days.
