Dollywood Cinnamon Bread is a soft, sweet bread coated generously with cinnamon sugar and baked until perfectly caramelized, delivering a warm, flavorful treat that’s ideal for breakfasts or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread Dough

  • 1 batch prepared bread dough (approximately 4 cups flour base)

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a bowl, thoroughly mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly combined to create the cinnamon sugar coating.
  2. Form and Coat the Dough: Roll or stretch the prepared bread dough into the desired shape. Brush or drizzle the melted butter over the surface of the dough, ensuring it’s evenly covered. Then, generously coat the buttered dough with the cinnamon sugar mixture, pressing lightly so it adheres well.
  3. Bake the Bread: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the coated dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cinnamon sugar topping is caramelized and slightly crisp.
  4. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes to allow the caramelized coating to set. Slice and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Using room temperature butter helps the cinnamon sugar adhere better to the dough.
  • If desired, you can add a light drizzle of glaze made with powdered sugar and milk once the bread has cooled for added sweetness.
  • Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve proper caramelization of the cinnamon sugar.
  • This bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently to refresh the crisp topping.
