Healthy Cinnamon Swirl Breakfast Bread

September 28, 2015 by Juli 14 Comments

It’s over a week now that we’re back from our wonderful summer vacation. I already miss it. I miss the time off, I miss to be with Stefan 24/7, I miss to go on some adventures and I miss all the glorious foods you can get in the States in every supermarket but not here.

Sour Patch Watermelon, Peanut Butter M&Ms, Chocolate with Bacon, Blue Diamond Habanero Nuts, Almond Breeze with a hint of Honey and Cinnamon Swirl Bread.

Whilst I cannot do anything to get the former ones I can roll up my sleeves, get the kitchen and myself messy and make my own Cinnamon Swirl Breakfast Bread.

Hello gorgeous!

This Cinnamon Swirl Breakfast Bread is a sweet alternative to my usual oatmeal, tit bake or bars.  But to be honest the bread only survived one morning. Then I had it for lunch and several snacks in between. Stefan also ate 4 slices as a dessert after dinner. Yes, it’s that good.

Healthy Cinnamon Swirl Breakfast Bread

Author: Juli

Ingredients

  • 20 g fresh yeast
  • 1 cup milk I used Cashew Milk
  • 4 cups spelt flour
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 3 T coconut butter
  • 3 T coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 cup spelt flour to dust the countertop
  • 1 egg yolk to coat the bread

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 50Β° C (120Β° F)
  • Dissolve the yeast in the milk and put in the oven for 10 min
  • Give all the dry ingredients in a bowl and add the yeast-milk mixture
  • With a fork stir through the ingredients until you have a sticky dough
  • Now cover the bowl with a clean dish towel and put in the oven for another 10 min
  • Give all the ingredients for the filling in a small bowl and mix everything well together. This works best with a fork
  • Take the dough from the oven and add a little flour and knead the dough with the ball of your hand until you have a smooth dough ball
  • Divide the dough in three equal part and put two parts aside. Roll your piece of dough onto a flat, floured surface until it's about 40 x 20 cm. It should still be about 1/2 cm thick. Make sure it doesn't stick to the surface
  • Now take 1/3 of the filling and cover the dough with it
  • Now roll up the long side of the dough so that you have a long thick dough roll. Repeat with the other two parts.
  • Now braid the three pieces together and place in a loaf pan lined with baking parchment
  • Coat the braided bread with the egg yolk
  • Place the bread on a baking rack and bake in the over for about 20 minutes at 180ΒΊ C

Notes

Depending on the stickiness of the dough you might have to add more flour. Don't calculate too little.
You can store it in an airtight container for 4-5 days
Serve with Cream Cheese Spread. Just mix together some full fat cream cheese, cinnamon and maple syrup. It's divine!
Don't be afraid of yeast! There are only two rules: Keep it warm but not too warm (50Β°C at the highest until you bake it) and treat in kindly - aka careful but vigorously kneading is a must. Be brave! You can all do this! I promise!

At the moment travelling is my number 1 priority in my life.  I do love to explore new places and discover the world I also love to go back and revisit places I’ve been to before. I love how tightly bound those experiences are with specific scents or tastes. It’s less than 7 weeks that I am going to fly back to NYC for the second time in 1 and 1/2 years and I couldn’t be more excited. I guess going there in the winter will be a total different experience.

After this trip I know for sure that I won’t have much opportunity to travel far for some time. Life and also the budget won’t let us.

Biting in a piece of flavorful Cinnamon Swirl Bread definitely brings me back to my favorite places. Especially when it’s slightly warmed up and smeared with Cream Cheese Spread!

      Thank you! I am sure it will be a blast! I am keen to make all the horrible touristy things you know from TV. Like ice skating at Rockefeller Center πŸ˜€
      You’ve been only once to NYC even though you lived in driving distance??? Hell why?

    Wow you are going to NYC!!! So jealous!
    As you can tell, I am with you on travelling and adventures – so if you ever want to come out to Australia…???!!!! We have almond breeze with honey… πŸ™‚
    The thing I miss most about travelling is always being with David 24/7 and the food… but you are spot on to whip up something tasty in the kitchen to satisfy all those longings!

      And I can’t wait to go. It’s so so bad. I really have to ground myself and tell me to enjoy the time until I go, too!
      Actually Australia is on my travel bucket list. I hope to go in early 2018. This is approximately the time it will take me to save up for the trip πŸ˜› If I go I make sure to plan a stop in Perth as well.
