Recipe Notes
- When I bake the small loaves, it usually takes 45 mins. Large loaves take about an hour.
- I also make a sugar and cinnamon mixture* and sprinkle on the top of the loaves before baking
*For the cinnamon sugar mixture, I just eye-ball it. Start with a couple tablespoons of sugar and add 1/2-1 tsp of cinnamon. Mix together in a small bowl; it should be a light brown/sand color.
