01 -

It delivers all the cinnamon sugar donut memories without the deep frying mess
The buttery cinnamon crust creates this crackly texture that is impossible to resist

02 -

Overmixing will make the bread tough, so stop as soon as the flour disappears
The bread must be warm when you add the topping or the cinnamon sugar will not stick properly

03 -

Swirl extra cinnamon sugar through the batter before baking for pockets of spicy sweetness
Room temperature ingredients blend together more smoothly for a uniform texture
