Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup skim milk
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt.
In a small saucepan, heat the skim milk and water over low heat until warm, about 110°F (43°C).
Add the warm milk mixture to the dry ingredients along with the applesauce and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Punch the dough down to release the air and roll it out into a 9x12 inch rectangle.
Brush the surface of the dough with a little water. Mix the ground cinnamon and brown sugar together, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the dough.
Starting with a short side, roll the dough tightly into a log and pinch the seam to seal.
Place the rolled dough seam-side down in a 9x5 inch loaf pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Cover the loaf pan with the kitchen towel and let it rise again for 20-30 minutes or until it's risen just above the pan.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your delicious low-fat cinnamon swirl bread!
