Cinnamon Swirl Bread with Hayden





Hayden, one of my daycare kids, and I made Cinnamon Swirl Bread this afternoon. I took a few pictures of it. He seems to love to bake and reveled in being the only one to help, except for licking the batter of course. I'll include the recipe in case you want to try it.

Cinnamon Swirl Bread
2/3 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
2/3 cup vegetable oil

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Lightly grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans. In a small bowl mix together 2/3 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon cinnamon, set aside. In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, and 2 cups sugar. Combine eggs, milk and oil add to flour mixture. Stir until just moistened. Pour half the batter into pan. Sprinkle with half the reserved cinnamon sugar mixture. Repeat with remaining batter and cinnamon/sugar mixture. Draw a knife through batter to marble. Bake in a preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Let it cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Wrap in foil and let sit overnight before slicing.

UPDATE:
We just ate the bread for snack and it was the best batch yet. Good job Hayden.
