Ingredients

FOR THE DOUGH
  • 1 cup yogurt (plain whole yogurt) (room temperature)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 2½ cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt (If using unsalted butter then add ¼ teaspoon of salt)
  • ½ cup butter (cold and cubed)
FOR THE FILLING
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ tablespoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup butter (very soft)
EXTRAS
  • ⅓ cup finely chopped nuts or raisins (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat oven to 375F/190C. Grease and flour or spray a 9 inch / 23cm loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt, add the butter and mix to form coarse crumbs.
  3. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixture beat the yogurt and egg one minute, add the dry flour ingredients and combine on low to form a soft dough.
  4. Move the dough to a floured flat surface and pat into a rectangle, if too sticky then add a little more flour, then roll (long side) with a flour rolling pin to a 11x8 inch / 28x20cm rectangle. Spread the filling on top of the dough, sprinkle with the chopped nuts or raisins, roll up from the shorter side and place in the prepared loaf pan.
  5. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes check for doneness with a toothpick. Immediately remove from the pan and let cool on a wire rack. Drizzle with a simple glaze if desired before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If using raisins be sure to soak them for 10-15 minutes in boiling water then drain well and pat dry. You could also soak them in orange juice or even rum.
  • If you prefer for Christmas you could shape the dough into a candy shape on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • Store: As with most homemade quick breads, this is best on day one but does keep well up to 3 days stored in an airtight container. I love to enjoy it sliced and toasted although it would be great as French toast or bread pudding, too.
  • Freeze: This cinnamon bread freezes well either whole or in slices. Wrap with plastic wrap then in aluminum foil and place in a freezer safe bag. Store for 2-3 months in the freezer. Thaw wrapped at room temperature and enjoy.
