The Easy Cinnamon Swirl Bread is absolutely delicious!!! My sister and I ate the whole thing, and it was more like a dessert than it was for breakfast. I even had everything to make the recipe, other than powered sugar. I will be making this recipe again soon. ??
Linda Thompson says
I think the sugar in the recipe should read 1 1/2cups sugar….1 cup for bread mix and 1/2 for cinnamon mix.
Carrie says
