Ingredients

  • 51/4 cups flour
  • 2 T. yeast
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 tsps. salt
  • 2 ½ cups warm water not too hot and not tepid
  • 2 T. olive oil
  • 4-6 T. Butter

Cinnamon Mixture:

  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 T. Cinnamon

Instructions

  • Grease 2 bread pans. (Glass or ceramic preferred.)
  • Combine the dry ingredients in mixer using dough hooks for a few seconds on low.
  • With mixer on low, slowly pour in warm water and olive oil.
  • After ingredients are combined, turn mixer speed to medium.
  • Mix for 5 minutes on medium. Dough should mix together and come away cleanly from the sides of the bowl during this time. Dough will be smooth at the end of mixing.
  • Oil or grease hands and remover dough from bowl onto clean and lightly-floured counter or silpat and knead it 4-6 times. This is a soft dough, but if it is too sticky too handle, knead in a bit more flour.
  • Divide dough evenly into 2 balls and shape or roll into rectangles about a 1/2 inch thick. Spread each with 2-3 T. butter.
  • Make Cinnamon mixture by stirring brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
  • Sprinkle each rectangle with 1/2 of cinnamon mixture and roll them up into loaves and place in prepared pans.
  • (optional) For Mummy Loaves: Twist each dough loaf 6-8 times and tucking ends under, place in pan.
  • Lightly cover loaves with plastic wrap or clean dish towel and sit in a warm place to rise till dough is about double in volume up to 30 minutes.
  • While dough is rising, heat oven to 400°.
  • Bake loaves for 15-20 minutes, till golden brown. Turn them out onto cooling rack.

Notes

To make the Cinn-a-Mummuies: After they come out of the oven use 2-3 cloves for each of the eyes. After the loaves cools, roll up in plastic wrap, and then wrap with string following the contours of the mummy. Tag for gifting.
