Ingredients

• 5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 1 tablespoon Active dry yeast
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.25 cup Dry milk powder
• 1 large Egg
• 1.5 cups Cinnamon chips
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or melted butter (for greasing pans)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy and activated.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and dry milk powder.

Step 3

Add the activated yeast mixture, softened butter, and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough starts to come together.

Step 4

Knead the dough by hand on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes or use the dough hook attachment on a stand mixer for 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Gradually fold in the cinnamon chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Lightly grease a large bowl with vegetable oil or melted butter, place the dough inside, and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Grease two 8x4-inch bread loaf pans with vegetable oil or melted butter.

Step 8

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a loaf and place them into the prepared pans.

Step 9

Cover the loaves with a towel and let them rise again for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until they are nicely puffed and just about double in size.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 11

Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the internal temperature of the bread reaches 190°F (88°C).

Step 12

Remove the loaves from the pans and allow them to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade Copy Cat Great Harvest Cinnamon Burst Bread!
