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
Icing
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Thaw Bread: 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.
- Slice Bread: Cut 4 deep cuts into each loaf nearly all the way through, leaving a small piece connected at the bottom.
- Butter Bread: Coat the entire bread with melted butter, ensuring the inside of each cut is well coated.
- Apply Cinnamon Sugar: Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a wide dish. Roll the bread gently in the cinnamon sugar, making a thick coat and stuffing each cut with plenty of cinnamon sugar.
- Rise Bread: Place each loaf in a prepared pan and cover with a light tea towel. Allow the bread to rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake Bread: Bake loaves for 25 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped on the bottom. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Prepare Icing: While bread cools, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Add extra milk for desired consistency.
- Glaze Bread: Drizzle the icing over the warm bread and serve.
Notes
- Store leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or foil in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- You can fully assemble the bread and refrigerate it overnight in the loaf pan; let it rise at room temperature before baking the next day.
- Use room temperature butter for easier spreading.
- Ensure the bread rises fully for the best texture.
