There were so many yummy looking desserts at the ward Spaghetti Dinner and Auction. This one comes from Ellyn St.Peter and her mom Joan Hendershot. Joan says: It is a very old recipe that I got from a southern girl who got it from her grandmother and it isn't for the calorie conscious. It makes 6 big loaves but can probably be cut in half.
Cinnamon Sweet Bread
Start: Proof yeast in water with 1 tbsp sugar. When yeast bubbles,
add the flour and evaporated milk.
Let stand till mixtures rises.
2 pkgs dry yeast
1 can evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups warm water
4 cups flour
I always use my mixer on this first step then the next step needs to be done by hand unless you
have a real heavy mixer.
Then add:
8 beaten eggs
1 lb. melted butter or oleo
2 cups sugar
10 to 11 cups flour.
Mix all together until blended shiny. Let rise double. Cut into 6 or 8 equal pieces (depending on pan size)
Flatten each piece by hand into a rectangle. Spread with soft butter or oleo and sprinkle with sugar
and cinnamon. Roll up from long end like a jelly roll and pinch end closed. Put into greased pan
pinched side down and let rise in pan. Bake 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. Take out, brush
with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
This bread may also be made without the sugar and cinnamon step. Then it becomes a tea bread.
It is also great toasted.
This bread looked so good. I'll have to try it :)
