This cinnamon bread, also knows as “Bread Kringel”, has been baked for hundreds of years in Estonia, for holidays, birthdays celebrations and special occasions. It originated in Germany and is basically a sweet enriched bread that’s twisted into the shape of a pretzel or a simple ring.

- Place milk, egg yolk, walnut oil and maple syrup in the pan of your bread machine. Add in flours and the dried yeast. Select the “Dough” cycle, and press “Start”.
- Mix together the cooled butter, sugar and cinnamon powder in a bowl. When the “Dough” cycle is finished, transfer the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead it briefly.
- Divide the dough in half. Using a rolling pin, roll each out into a 1cm thick rectangle. Spread the 1/3 cinnamon butter mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1cm border. Roll dough up, starting lengthwise to form a Swiss roll. Seal edges well by pinching close and slice it in half lengthwise, leaving 5cm intact.
- Turn each half cut-side up and carefully plait the halves together, keep the cut-side up to expose the filling. Join both ends to form a round wreath and transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the bread top with the remaining cinnamon mixture. Scatter the silvered almonds over if used. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

The bread looks great, I'm sure it tastes as good as it looks, awesome!
yumm, looks delicious. I have a question, you use various kinds of flour and bread flour to make your breads, can I use just regular plain flour?
I just love how you weaved together this ring! This looks delicious, as always, and your words make me smile, yet again. I hope you have a blessed week and a wonderful season of joy and food and fun.

-Gina-
Oh my goodness, Angie... This looks fabulous! I'm going to bookmark this recipe. :)
the bread looks beautiful. anything with cinnamon has to be awesome ! your sense of presentation & styling is excellent angie. happy holidays !
yum! gorgeous!
Thanks for visiting my blog, Angie cos you gave me an opportunity to visit yours and I love it. Will follow your blog from now. I could almost smell the cinnamon. Sniff. sniff...
I must try this wonderful braid...Is it possible to attempt this without a bread machine? How long would I need to knead the bread... and at what point would I add the dried yeast..how long to allow to rise etc? Thank you for any enlightenment..I really do need to save up for a machine! Your blog and photography are superlative..I'm continually stunned by your culinary creativity and presentation. Bravo.
@Donna
Put all the dry ingredients (including instant dried yeast) in a mixing bowl, then make a well in the center,add in liquid ingredients. Stir first at slow speed for about 3 mins, then increase the speed, and knead for a further 3-4 mins until smooth and elastic.
HiAngie. You have answered my question, and I am pleased to say I had guessed correctly, but does it not need any time to rest / proof? Normally a dough of this type needs to be left twice. Does this really just go straight from kneading, to filling to the oven? If so, how brilliant!
@Amy
I didn't really give this bread a final proof as I have used 7g instant yeast (lots of yeast for 300 grams of flour) and it took me about 20 minutes to preheat the oven to 190C/375F. It did puff up before transferring to the oven.
Delicious bread I have tried cookies with spelt flour, not bread. sure I will try this recipe.
Nothing like homemade bread, especially sweet ones. Happy baking.
