Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 packet active dry yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup nonfat milk
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 large egg white
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0 nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour, granulated sugar, yeast, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to blend all dry ingredients.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the nonfat milk, water, and unsweetened applesauce until warm (about 110°F).

Step 3

Add the warm liquid to the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl.

Step 4

Beat with a mixer at low speed to blend, then increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Add more flour gradually, about half a cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, approximately 1 hour.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a 14x8 inch rectangle.

Step 8

Mix the brown sugar and additional 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle it evenly over the dough rectangle.

Step 9

Roll up the dough tightly from one short side to the other, pinching seams to seal.

Step 10

Place the dough in a 9x5 inch loaf pan coated with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 11

Cover and let rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Step 12

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough is rising.

Step 13

Once risen, bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when gently tapped.

Step 14

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

Step 15

Turn out onto a wire rack to finish cooling.

Step 16

Once completely cooled, slice and serve your delicious low-fat homemade cinnamon bread.
