Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Coating
- 3 loaves frozen bread dough, Rhodes Bake-N-Serve
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup ground cinnamon
Glaze
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Thaw the dough: Place frozen loaves on a tray and thaw at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours, or thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
- Prepare pans: Spray 9-inch bread pans with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Score the dough: Cut 4 deep cuts nearly all the way through each loaf, leaving a small piece connected at the bottom.
- Butter the bread: Coat each loaf completely with melted butter, making sure to get inside each cut thoroughly.
- Apply cinnamon sugar: Mix sugar and cinnamon in a wide dish, then roll each bread loaf gently in the mixture, creating a thick coat and stuffing each cut with plenty of cinnamon sugar.
- Let the bread rise: Place each loaf into prepared pans, cover with a light tea towel, and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the bread is rising.
- Bake the bread: Bake the loaves for 25 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped on the bottom.
- Cool slightly: Remove bread from oven and cool for about 10 minutes.
- Prepare the glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons milk until smooth. Add more milk as needed to reach desired consistency.
- Glaze and serve: Drizzle the icing over the warm bread before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Store leftovers at room temperature wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or foil in an airtight container to keep fresh for up to 3 days.
- You can assemble the bread fully (making slits, buttering, and coating with cinnamon sugar) and refrigerate overnight before baking the next day; just allow it to rise at room temperature before baking.
- Make sure to coat inside the cuts well with butter and cinnamon sugar for maximum flavor.
- Use a light tea towel to cover the dough during rising to prevent drying while allowing the bread to breathe.
