Once upon a time I tried to make Cinnamon Star Bread, but it was a fail…I am pretty sure I killed my yeast and my dough didn’t rise. I haven’t given up on trying it again someday, but as an intermediate step, this year I made a Cinnamon Twist Bread. I’m happy to report it was a success!

My family requested the cream cheese frosting. :grin:

Here are some pics before it was frosted so you can see the twists a bit better.

I’m sure Paul Hollywood would have some criticisms, but I’m just happy we had something edible this year! :sweat_smile:

Thanks for looking. :yum:

That looks delicious! I think it is actually prettier without the frosting, which I think says a lot about your technique. Paul Hollywood can keep those criticisms to himself. :wink:

Thanks for sharing the recipe! We got a small portion in a Harry & David gift box and it was delicious! I vowed to my husband that I would try to make it for him to go with his afternoon coffee!
