Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 lb. frozen bread dough, thawed
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, sprinkled on top
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 Tbsp milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan for Baking: Spray a loaf pan lightly with cooking spray and then line the pan with parchment paper. Lightly spray the inside of the parchment paper as well.
- Prepare the Dough: Place your frozen bread dough loaf in the parchment-covered loaf pan and thaw according to the package instructions, usually between 4-7 hours.
- Mix Sugar and Cinnamon: In a shallow dish, mix together the 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Set this cinnamon-sugar mixture aside.
- Cut the Dough: Slice 5-6 horizontal slits across the top of the dough horizontally about 1/2 the depth of the dough to allow the bread to pull apart after being baked.
- Coat in Butter and Cinnamon Sugar: Melt the butter and generously brush on the top and inside slits of the bread dough. Liberally sprinkle on the cinnamon-sugar mixture until completely coated, ensuring even coverage inside the slices in the loaf.
- Top and Rise: Place the loaf pan in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes. After risen, sprinkle 1/4 cup of brown sugar over the top.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake: Place in a preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is cooked through and the top is golden brown.
- Prepare the Icing: While the bread is baking, prepare the icing. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk. Adjust the milk to get the icing to your desired consistency.
- Finish and Serve: Once the bread is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Drizzle the icing over the warm cinnamon bread. Serve the Dollywood Cinnamon Bread warm, pulling apart each piece for a delicious, sweet treat.
Enjoy!
