Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place the warm water in a large bowl and sprinkle the yeast on top.  
  • Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the yeast to proof.
  • Add the brown sugar and butter.  
  • Blend in 2 cups of the flour and the salt until moistened. 
  • Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes.
  • Stir in an additional 1 1/4 to 1 3/4 cups flour, until dough pulls away cleanly from the sides of the bowl.  
  • Knead on floured surface, adding 1/2 to 3/4 cup additional flour, until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. 
  • Place dough in large greased bowl, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise in warm place until doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Lightly mist a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray.  
  • Stir the granulated sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. 
  • Punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle, about 9 inches on the short side and 1/4 inch thick. 
  • Spread with a thin layer of apple butter, and top with the cinnamon sugar. 
  • Starting at the short side, roll into a tight log (like a cinnamon roll). 
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the log in half lengthwise, leaving the two halves attached at one end. 
  • Twist the two long pieces together and place in the prepared pan. 
  • Cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise in warm place until doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.  
  • Uncover dough and bake 40 to 45 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when lightly tapped. 
  • Cool completely before slicing.
