5. Bake in preheated oven at 200C for 40minutes. Remove bread from bread tin and cool on wire rack before slicing.
My variation:As i like loaf with hint of cinnamon fragrance, i added 1 tbsp cinnamon powder for flavour (just nice, not too overpowering) and added raisins. I think walnut is another option to add into this loaf.

Hi! This is Yun. Been reading your blog for some times...Love or cooking nad baking^^
ReplyDeleteFrom the picture, ur loaf look like making using bread machine.? May I know did u take out the loaf earlier than the proggrame time? Because I like ur loaf colour. It look nice and soft. If I make the loaf using break machine, the outcome will be too brown, even I had choose the colour to be "light".
Hi Yun,
DeleteThis loaf was done using my mixer to knead the dough. As i dont have a loaf tin of this size, i actually used my bread machine tin but baked in the oven, thats the reason why i can control the crust colour based on my oven temperature and time. So far i tried using my bread machine for a loaf, yes the colour was indeed darker even with the selection of "Light". I think its due to the baking time too which is about an hour. My suggestion for you is reduce the baking time. HTH ;)
Your pics did all the talking for you. Good idea,no need to write an intro. Like the last pic, the slice of bread is so soft.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheah! Its a lazy way tho ;)
ReplyDeleteNice loaf.
ReplyDeleteGood idea to add cinnamon .
Thanks Angel for your kind sharing. I absolutely love this loaf too :)
Deleteohhh...the third picture shows how soft it is ...I like the combination of cinnamon and cranberry.
ReplyDeleteLove your loaf! Looks really soft, and I love the Cinnamon flavour, will try this out one day!
ReplyDeleteHelena, cranberry and raisin pair very well too.
ReplyDeleteThats an interesting way to test the softness of your bread by having it laid on a skewer and indeed, it looks so wonderfully soft ! And I am sure it tastes good too with the combi of cinnamon and cranberries !
ReplyDeleteJoyce, I love cinnamon buns, hence it gave me the idea to add a tbsp of it to bring out the hint of cinnamon for the loaf;)
DeleteOoh your loaf looks gorgeous! I've been looking for a recipe like this for a while, can't wait to try it! X
