I found this recipe and thought it could be a winner! I was wrong.
This recipe was written oddly - forgot the flour in the directions - an extra stick of butter randomly in the ingredients. I followed the recipe as best as I could - and what I ended up with was a loaf form of monkey bread. I turned it out onto a rack and the cobblestones did not rise together and from one - they stayed individual and kept falling all over - tumbling down. Oops. Now, is it good monkey bread? Sure!! it was delicious, but was it what I was looking and hoping for? Nope.
So - the hunt goes on. I do enjoy a good hunt especially if it involves cinnamon and baking.
Cinnamon Cobblestone Bread
1/4 cup warm water
1 package Red Star Platinum Yeast
1 tablespoon Dixie Crystals Sugar
3/4 cup milk
1 egg beaten
4 tablespoons melted butter
3 cups white all purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 stick melted butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
enough water to thin glaze if necessary
Add water, yeast and sugar to a mixing bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes to prove. Once yeast is bubbly add flour, milk, egg and butter. Attach the dough hook and knead for 5 minutes. Remove dough and transfer to a greased bowl. allow to rise until double in size about 90 minutes. Punch down dough and place on a lightly four surface. divide into 24 equal pieces. (well as equal as you can get) Roll dough into balls and dip the balls in the melted butter and then the sugar mixture. Stack 12 balls into a greased loaf pan. Stack the other 12 balls in another loaf pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30-45 minutes or until the dough is cooked through.
For the glaze, combine the powdered sugar and the vanilla extract. Add enough water to make it spreadable. Put glaze on still warm bread.
