Manggy

Ooh, I'm curious. It's like a brioche ring? Sounds nice. I wish I had a better feel for what the dough must be like: I get a little nervous reading "2-3 cups"-- maybe when I'm a more accomplished baker/ bread-maker. Also will have to look for a wide ring tin, the closest I have here is a small angel food tin I've used all of once.

Manggy, it's just a sweet yeasted dough, but not as rich as brioche. And it's really pretty easy. If you make it and the leaves seem a little "tough" you know you needed a lighter hand with the amount of flour. You want a tender not quite sticky dough.

Also, you can use a smaller ring pan-- you'll just need to use two. Or even use the one angel food pan and then line a bread pan with the rest of the leaves.

I don't know if you have ever seen recipes for "Monkey Bread," but this is somewhat similar. Monkey Bread recipes usually call for pre-made biscuit dough and for the dough to be shaped into and baked as round balls.

Mom, you sneak! And calling it a "sampling technique"! :-)

I want some!

Loved this post! I can just see my grandkids pulling off little balls of cinnamon goodness & popping in their mouths! So much better with the homemade yeast version rather than the canned biscuits :)

Sophie

Every year around this time I start craving cinnamon leaves, and this post just reminded me! I've loved this recipe for as long as I can remember. Grandma, maybe you can post about sausage bread, too! (And the vegetarian version you sent Mom).

What a cool post! I love that your whole family is involved Ann. I hope you guys have a lovely, amazing Christmas!

Ann

Okay, WHY does everyone in this family think the sausage bread recipe is grandma's? Because it's MINE, I tell you, MINE.

maf

YES ANN - We all know the Sausage Bread is yours - how about a Post. By the way - don't try to get out of sneaky sampling - you have known that trick since you were a little girl! Sophie, I'll do the vegetarian bread one of these days.

Susan

What a wonderfully creative, stylin' take on a sweet yeast bread. If I wasn't already committed (by family vote!) to bake cinnamon rolls for Xmas morning, this would be MY choice. Lovely.
