Cinnamon Swirl Bread has a pillowy soft interior, with a beautiful swirl of cinnamon and sugar throughout the bread. Make-by-hand, stand mixer, and overnight instructions included. 

Ingredients

2 1/4 cup milk (, 1%, 2%, or whole milk)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 1/4 teaspoon instant dry yeast
1 tablespoon table salt
3 tablespoons melted butter
5 1/2-6 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons salted butter softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Method

1
In a microwave safe bowl or cup, warm the milk until it is warm to the touch, 100-110 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the milk, sugar, yeast, salt, melted butter, and 5 cups of flour. Knead on a low setting for 1 minute until combined, Slowly increase speed and add the remaining flour 1/4 cup at a time until the dough forms a smooth and elastic ball that is soft and tacky, but not sticky.
3
Put the dough ball into a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 90 minutes until double in size.
4
After 90 minutes, divide the dough into two equal pieces. Roll or press each piece into a 9-inch by 15-inch rectangle. Use a butter knife to spread 2 tablespoons of butter onto each, leaving a 1/2-inch gap at the top to seal the dough.
5
In a small mixing bowl, stir together brown sugar and cinnamon for your filling. Sprinkle in an even layer over the butter. Roll each lengthwise into a tight roll and pinch the ends shut.
6
Transfer each loaf into a lightly greased 9-inch by 5-inch bread loaf pan. Cover and let rise for an additional 60 minutes until double in size.
7
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Bake bread for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.
8
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the loaf from the pan and letting it cool completely.
