Hello, every birdy. Today we are going to be making a recipe that seems complicated, but is in fact really easy. This was my first time making a bread that was like this, so that was a bit scary. But it was really fun, once I got the hang of it. We are going to be making a Apple Butter Cinnamon Swirl Bread. 

The character that inspired this recipe was one of the Kamisato Siblings. I was going to be pulling on his sisters banner, but once I did a test run for him. I knew that I needed him in my game. Also, his character is just amazing. 

Kamisato Ayato (Ka-mi-sa-to Eye-a-tow) is a hydro character who is also from Inazuma. With him being the oldest son of the Kamisato Clan, he is rather spoiled and doesn’t know how to cook for himself. However, he will help people when they need it. He was one of those characters that said that he would eat anything. He doesn’t like to look picky when he has guests.

 So this recipe was perfect for him: Complicated but easy to understand once you get the hang of it. 

The recipe is from a site called “Baking a Moment.” And the recipe’s name is Apple butter cinnamon bread. The link to the recipe and measurements will be down below. Feel free to check it out for yourself. 

The ingredients that you will need are 

• Warm water 
• Active dry yeast 
• Light brown sugar. I used the same amount of granulated sugar.
• Unsalted butter or margarine, softened
• All-purpose flour, divided
• Kosher salt or regular salt
• Granulated sugar
• Ground cinnamon
• Apple butter

In a large bowl you are going to place your warm water. On top of the water you will place the yeast. Set that aside for 5 minutes, that way the yeast can proof. 

After the 5 minutes, you are now going to add in the brown sugar and the butter. 

Mix 2 cups of flour and salt together until moistened.

For 3 minutes, beat the dough with an electric mixer on medium speed.

You now want to stir in the additional flour that you have. Making sure that the dough will be able to pull cleanly away from the sides of the bowl. 

On a flour surface, you are going to be adding about ½ to ¾ cup of additional flour. And you want to gradually add the flour by kneading it for 10 minutes. 

Place the dough in a large grease bowl, and cover it loosely with plastic wrap or a kitchen cloth that is designated to be your proofing towel. And let it rise in a warm place, until it double in size. This will take about 30 to 45 minutes. 

Now, we are going to be making the cinnamon sugar mixture. To do this grab a small bowl and add in your granulated sugar and cinnamon and stir it together. 

Once your dough has doubled in size you are going to punch it down, and roll it into a rectangle about 9 inches on the short side and about ¼ inch thick. 

Spread a thin layer of apple butter and then sprinkle the apple butter with the cinnamon sugar. 

Using a sharp knife, we are going to cut the log in half lengthwise, making it so that the two halves are attached at one end. 

Know becomes the fun part. You are going to twist the two long pieces together and place it in the prepared pan. 

Cover it loosely again with plastic wrap or the proofing towel and let it rise in the warmest spot in your kitchen. It may take you a while to figure out where this spot is. For me, it is on top of the stove. You once again want it to double in size, so you will have to wait 30- 45 minutes. 

Preheat your oven to 350℉.

Uncover your dough and bake it for 40 to 45 minuets or until the loaf sounds hollow when lightly tapped. 

Make sure the bread is completely cool before you slice it. And enjoy. 

Honestly, this recipe was really easy. It honestly makes me laugh. When I first started baking and doing these types of posts, I would only do the easy ones. The recipes that only had a few steps in them. Just because I didn’t feel comfortable doing the more complicated step orinetanted recipes, like this. Know I am just like “yay. This recipe has a lot of steps, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it wasn’t easy.” 

Everyone loved this recipe. It was such a good recipe. And it made the house smell SO amazing. 

I hope that you like these recipes. Feel free to check it out for yourselves. See you in the next recipe.
