About Cinnamon Swirl Bread
Cinnamon swirl bread is such a beauty. It is just delicious as it looks. I have already made a version which has eggs in them and it is one of my old old post. This one is a updated version and it is totally more delicious than that and pretty easy to make as well.
You will get the perfect soft textured bread with a yummy buttery sweet cinnamon spread inside it. It is yummy when served warm with a cup of milk. You can even toast it and spread with some more butter and enjoy it for breakfast.

Cinnamon Swirl Bread Ingredients
All Purpose Flour - this bread is made with refined flour also known as maida. You can use whole wheat flour in the bread but the texture may vary a little. You can use half plain flour and half wheat flour.
Salt - salt makes the bread taste great and enhance the flavour of the bread.
Sugar - you need sugar added in the bread dough and also used in the cinnamon sugar topping.
Milk - milk along with butter makes the bread super moist and tender. You can use milk powder instead of milk.
Dry Yeast - make sure to use fresh yeast which makes the bread puffy and light.
Butter - butter is added in the bread dough and the filling which makes it super buttery in texture.
Ground Cinnamon - the main flavouring in the bread is cinnamon. I like to use ground cinnamon for flavour.
