Notes

  • Storage: Store bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To freeze, tightly wrap full loaves or individual slices in plastic wrap, place into an airtight container, and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • For a little something extra, drizzle vanilla icing onto this cinnamon roll bread before serving! In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. For a thicker glaze, use less milk. For a thinner glaze, use more milk. To add a little extra tang, whisk in 2 tablespoons of cream cheese.
