Sweet Cinnamon Swirl Bread
What it is
This is a soft, enriched bread with a sweet cinnamon filling swirled throughout. The dough is typically made with flour, sugar, yeast, and sometimes milk or oil for a tender crumb. The cinnamon filling often includes sugar and spices, creating pockets of warm, aromatic flavor in every slice. It's a delightful treat that bridges the gap between bread and dessert.
