1. 01 Introduction: Welcome to this class. In this class, I will
teach you how to make this cinnamon
roll sweet bread. First, I will teach you
how to make the batter. Next, I will teach you how
to make the cinnamon swirl. Then I will teach
you how to feel the pan with the
batter and the swirl. Next, I will teach you how
to bake and cool the bread. Finally, I will show you
how to make that glaze or topping and how to spread
it on top of the bread. I am a self taught baker
and cake decorator. Many years ago, I decided I wanted to open up
my own home bakery. I decided I needed to improve my decorated skills
a little bit. So I took some classes, watched some videos,
and, of course, did a lot of practice
until I felt like my cake decorating
skills were at the same level as my baking. I then opened up my bakery. I had this business
for several years. Part of this business was going to farmers
markets and festivals. Sweet breads like this
are excellent things to sell at farmers
markets and festivals. I had this business
for many years until my husband got a job offer in a different
city across the country. We feel like this was
a good move for us, and so I closed down my bakery and we moved
across the country. Now, here in the new city, I do not want to open
up another home bakery. But I still love baking. And as a retired teacher,
I love teaching. So I have decided to share my skills with you
on skill share. This class is for the baker that would like to learn how to make a delicious
quick sweet bread. Doesn't take very
long to mix up, and it's so Yummy. I am excited to teach you
the skills in this class. Let's move on to
Lesson number one. Making the batter. And
2. 02 Making the batter: We are ready to start making the batter for our
cinnamon roll bread. In this bowl, I'm going
to put one cup sugar. Two cups flour, one
tablespoon baking powder, one half teaspoon of salt. I'm just going to mix this up. Make sure it's all combined. Now to this bowl, I'm going to stir
in my one cup milk. My one third cup
of oil and my egg. I want to break that egg apart. Then I just want to stir this
until it's all mixed in. Because it's a quick bread, which is a lot like muffins, it doesn't have to
be totally smooth. But we do want all
of that mixed in. One quick check, and here we have the
batter for our bread.
3. 03 Making the Cinnamon Swirl: We're ready to prepare the cinnamon sugar that we use for the swirl in our bread. In this bowl, we're going to add one third cup sugar and
two teaspoons of cinnamon. Now we just want to mix this
until it's all combined. I'm just going ahead and using my two teaspoon measuring
spoon to mix it. And there we have our sugar and cinnamon combined ready
to use on our loaf. In our next lesson, we will put the batter and the swirl into the pan
preparing to bake it.
4. 04 Filling the Pan: My room. We are ready to
put our batter and cinnamon swirl into
our p. The first thing we want to do is
we're going to take a vegetable spray and
spray our pan down. Because we don't want this
bread to stick to the po. Now we're going to
take our batter, and we want to dump
about half of it in, and I don't know if I have half I'm going to put just
a little bit more in. Now I'm going to spoon
about half of this on top. Then I want it to go
mix in with the bread, so I'm going to do
this right here so that we will have a swirl
of this cinnamon sugar. One more like that.
Now we're going to add the rest of our batter. I don't really want to
mess that swirl up, so I didn't just dump it. I used my spatula to
put it in slower. I do want this to totally
cover that that I already did. If you don't have enough
batter to totally cover, it probably means you stuck
too much on the first one. It'll taste the same, but you may not get
it totally covered. Now I'm going to
take this and spoon it again, covering the top. Almost out so I'm just
going to knock it in. Then again, I'm going
to do that swirl and I don't want to really
scrape the bottom because remember I
did the bottom half. So I'm trying to keep
this on the top, but still swirling it in. And there we have the bread.
5. 05 Baking the Bread: Time. We are ready to bake our
cinnamon roll bread. The oven has preheated
to 350 degrees. As you can see, the rack
is in the middle position. We're just going to
stick the pan in the middle and cook it for 50
minutes before we check it. We'll be back in 50 minutes to check our bread
to see if it's done. The timer is about ready
to go off on the stove. So there it is. Let's go check and see
if our bread is done. Here's our loaf of bread. We're just going
to stick that in. Pull it out. As you can see, it's got some gooiness to it. It's not totally cooked. We're going to give
it another 5 minutes. It has been about
five more minutes. The time is about
ready to go off again. So we're going to check
the bread again and see if it's cooked or if it
needs another 5 minutes. There is our time. Okay. The colors real again. We're going to stick this
in at the highest point. Pull it out. And now you can see, there is no moist is all dry. We're going to pull
our bread out. We're going to let our bread cool in the pan for
about 10 minutes, and then we will put it on
the cooling rack so that we can put the glaze on top
and let it finish cooling. Our next lesson will
be making the glaze.
6. 06 The Glaze: We are ready to
make the topping or the glaze for our
cinnamon roll bread. I have a bowl here
and I'm going to put my butter in the bowl, and I'm going to soften this in the microwave for
about a half a minute. It doesn't need to be
completely melted, but we do want it
to be very soft. Here's our feather and I may need to give it more
time if I can't get this to break up because I do
want to be very soft. I'm just going to stir it a bit, see if I can get most of
it most of the way melted, if not melted very soft. So that when we add
everything else, it will mix in quite nicely. As you can see, now while
it's not totally melted, it's all in little tiny chunks
and pretty much dissolved, which is what we
were looking for. Now I'm going to add my two
cups of powdered sugar. There's one. S that in a
little bit and add the second. S that in. Add my one
teaspoon of vanilla. Sir that in. Then we're going
to start adding the milk. We want to add one
tablespoon at a time. Let's add our first tablespoon.
We want to mix that in. This is where we're
going to see it actually start blending. You can see now we're getting
a little bit of blending. Needs more. Here's our
second tablespoon of milk. Get that blending. Now we've got most of the
powdered sugar blended in. We're going to add the
last tablespoon of milk. That should do it. If not, we can always
add a little bit more, and we want to get this
the right consistency. We don't want it
to be too runny. That's why I said we can
always add a bit more. I'm going to add
just a little bit, not a tablespoon, maybe
half a tablespoon. I want this to be
easily spreadable. It doesn't need to be pable there you can see we have a nice glaze topping
for our bread. In our next lesson, we will be removing
the bread from the pan onto a cooling rack and then adding this topping
that we just made.
7. 07 Glazing the Bread: A. We are ready now to
finish up our bread. As you can see, it's
still in the pan. I'm going to just do a
quick going around like this to make sure
that the bread is not sticking to the
side of the pan. And then we're going to
flip and release the bread. Still a little bit hot. Now,
we want to put it back over. And it is still warm
and that's fine. That helps us give
our glaze or topping. We'll be able to melt
a little bit on top. Right now, I'm just spooning it on and then taking
it to the edge. Just like with cinnamon rolls, you don't want to even spread. You want it to drizzle just
a little bit over the edge. I'm taking it to the edge and
letting it do the drizzle. And let me bring that
down so you can see a little bit but you can
see that's drizzling. We're now going to
just leave it on the cooling rack to
complete the cool. Once it's completely cool, the frosting will
set up a little bit, and we'll be able to cut
it and it'll be ready to s
8. 08 Final Thoughts: Room. Thank you for taking this class. We had fun making our
cinnamon roll sweet bread. We first learned how
to make the batter. Then we learned how to make the cinnamon sugar that
would go in as the swirl. With both those components made, we then filled our cake
up with the batter, swirled in the
swirl, more batter, swirled in the final swirl, and then we baked our cake. After the cake was baked, we let it cool in the pan
for about 10 minutes. Then we dumped it out of the pan and let it cool
on a cooling rack. While it was cooling, we made the topping
or glaze that went on top and spread it on our bread while
it was still warm. We then let it cool completely. I hope your bread turned out
the way you wanted it to. The recipe for this bread
is in the project section. And your project
for this class is to make this cinnamon
roll quick bread. Please make sure to
post a picture of your bread on our project page and let us know how it went. I look forward to
hearing from you from my kitchen to your kitchen. Happy baking.
