I found this recipe here. This is a really different way to make bread. You usually "proof" the yeast first, but this worked really well. It really did taste like Great Harvest cinnamon bread. Although you will need to be picky about the cinnamon bites you use. Pantry Secrets has some really good ones. The cinnamon chips from the grocery store usually just melt into the bread and you don't get that bite of cinnamon.
Also, my Kitchen Aid won't hold this much dough, so I halved the recipe and it turned out great. My kids ate 1 loaf for dinner last night.
3 TB yeast
1/2 Cup sugar
4 eggs, lightly beaten (1/4 Cup dry egg powder + 1/2 Cup water)
3 3/4 Cup warm water (really warm water)
4 1/2 tsp. salt
3 TB vegetable oil
2 1/2 Cup cinnamon bites
11-12 Cups flour (try using wheat for some of this)
Combine in a mixing bowl 4 cups flour, yeast, and sugar. Add water, eggs, and oil. Beat well to "cake batter" stage. Stir in salt, cinnamon bites, and 7 more cups flour to make bread-dough consistency. Let mixer knead it to the right texture(add up to 1 more cup flour if needed). Place dough in greased bowl, cover and let rise for 1 hour. Shape dough into 4 loaves. Let rise another hour or until doubled in size. Bake at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes. Slice thick and serve warm with butter, or toast in the toaster, or make into french toast. Yummy!
Cook's Note: I don't know if we have ever discussed this, but to boost the rising time, I turn the oven light on and put my dough in the oven. The oven is NOT on. But the light will keep it warm for the dough to rise.
