This bread goes fast at our house.

All bread goes pretty fast, actually. When I began tracking our groceries to see where our money was going it wasn’t too surprising to see that bread was one of our biggest grocery expenses. Coming up with some easy, delicious recipes caused a nice dip in that spending, with the added bonus of getting to eat much better bread than we can buy at the local supermarket.

Cinnamon Bread

Preheat oven to 350.

1/2 cup sugar + 1/3 cup sugar, divided

1 Tablespoon cinnamon

2 cups flour

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/3 cup vegetable oil

In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat eggs, milk, vanilla, and oil.

Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar.

In a buttered bread pan, layer 1/3 of the batter, then 1/3 of the sugar/cinnamon. Repeat until you have 3 layers of each, ending with sugar/cinnamon.

Bake for 40 minutes.
