Put all the ingredients in the pan. Start the bread machine and start
a kitchen timer for 30 minutes. Cover a bread board with plastic wrap
and dust with flour. When the time is up, remove the dough from the
container with your hands, leaving the bread pan in place in your
machine. Place dough on floured board. Dust top of dough and your
hands with flour. Pat dough into a 6"x10" rectangle. Combine 2 ts
cinnamon and 1 ts sugar. Spoon mixture in three long rows, down the
dough. Roll dough into a fat cylinder, left to right, then fold it in
half twisting the ends together. Place the dough, ends down, back in
the bread machine, close the lid and continue the cycle.
Comments:
I used buttermilk powder mixed with water instead of buttermilk, and
didn't zap it for 20 seconds as it was already warm as I used
lukewarm water. I used regular margarine and decreased the salt some.
I always use a bit more yeast as it seems to rise better in my machine.
Notes:
The 30 minutes is just a guide. You need to wait until it is done
kneading and starts the first rise before you take the dough out. In
my machine that was closer to 35 to 40 minutes. The editor also said
that if your machine has a preheat or rest phase at the beginning of
the cycle, the 30 minutes doesn't start until after that. Also be
sure to keep the machine closed while you are putting the cinnamon on
so any heat in the machine stays in. Work as quickly as possible
because the machine still ticks off the time while you're doing it.
I found it to be extremely sticky, and although the editor said not
to use much flour on your hands and the plastic wrap--I had to! I
also found that the dough was very mooshy <G> and the instruction to
"fold in half twisting the ends together" was a joke. I folded it (by
this time it had "mooshed" itself into a totally different shape) and
tried to twist (yeah, right). It then slooped into the bread machine,
there was no "placing" it anywhere! But the final result was
excellent and I will make it again!
