Swirled Cinnamon Bread

The smiley face in this bread perfectly describes how it makes you feel. Warm and delicious, it makes cold winter mornings bearable. It tastes like dessert, but I eat it for breakfast.

*Disclaimer: your bread will not have a smiley face it it. This was a happy accident (pun intended) and I have no idea how to recreate it.

 

This bread uses ingredients you likely have in your house already, and is ready to eat in an hour and a half, which makes it a perfect go-to. I’ve made it for last minute work events, brunch, and of course, lazy Sunday mornings.

 

If you don’t have buttermilk, you can easily make it using milk and lemon juice or vinegar. Read more here.

Also, it kind of tastes like a donut version of an Auntie Anne’s cinnamon pretzel. DROOL.
