Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Butter
- 3 loaves frozen bread dough, Rhodes Bake – N – Serve
- ¾ cup butter, melted
Cinnamon Sugar Filling
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ¼ cup ground cinnamon
Vanilla Icing
- 1 ½ 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 overnight in the refrigerator.
- Prepare Pans: Spray 9-inch bread pans with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Score Bread: Cut 4 deep slits into each loaf, almost all the way through but leaving the bottom connected.
- Butter the Bread: Coat the entire bread with melted butter, making sure to get inside each cut thoroughly.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar: Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a dish, then roll the bread in it generously, ensuring the cuts are well stuffed with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Rise: Place each loaf into the prepared pans, cover with a light tea towel, and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat Oven: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake: Bake the bread for 25 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped on the bottom.
- Cool: Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Prepare Icing: While cooling, whisk powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons milk together until smooth; add more milk to achieve desired consistency.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the icing on top of the warm bread and serve immediately.
Notes
- Store leftover bread wrapped tightly at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For make-ahead convenience, assemble the bread and refrigerate overnight before baking; allow to rise at room temperature before baking.
- Ensure butter coats inside cuts well for a moist, flavorful filling.
- Use a light tea towel to cover bread while rising to prevent drying out.
- Check bread doneness by tapping for a hollow sound to avoid underbaking.
