4. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and 1/2 cup sugar.

On a side note: You don’t have to make the icing if you don’t want. I have made it multiple times without icing and the kids gobbled it up without it. 🙂

The bread is really amazing alone or with the icing. Just do what you prefer.

We often make it both ways and it is always a huge hit either way. Give it a try!
