Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Cinnamon rolls are one of my absolute favorites but sometimes I don't want to go through all the hassle of making a bunch of little rolls.  This is a nice alternative to try when you're having that cinnamon roll craving but are a little short on time or short on motivation.  Just throw the ingredients in your bread machine to make it even easier.  This recipe makes two loaves of delicious cinnamon bread that is super yummy!

Cinnamon Swirl Bread

BREAD:
1 cup warm milk
1/4 cup warm water
2 eggs

1/4 cup butter, softened
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
5 cups bread flour
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
FILLING:
3 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
GLAZE:
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
4-5 tbsp milk

Directions: 
1. Layer all eight bread ingredients in your bread machine in the order suggested by manufacturer.  Select the dough cycle.  Now go put your feet up and read a book :o)
2.  When the cycle is complete, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface.  Divide dough in half.  Roll each portion into a 10 x 8 in. rectangle.  Brush with melted butter.  Combine the sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough. 
3.  Roll each rectangle tightly  jelly-roll style, starting with a short side.  Pinch the seams and ends to seal.  Place seam side down in two greased 9 x 5 in. loaf pans.  Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size, about 1 hour.
4.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.  Cover with foil and bake an additional 5-10 minutes or until done.  Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.  Combine the glaze ingredients, adding enough milk to get desired consistency.  Spoon over loaves and serve.
