    If you like cinnamon and apples, this one is for you. It takes a bit time (mostly waiting while to dough does the work) and it is a bit messy to make, but it will turn out just fine – I promise. A little bit butter here and there to grease, a little bit flour to avoid the dough sticking to the surface and you should be fine ;)

    At the end you get a nice treat for your breakfast or coffee in the afternoon. If you are not a big fan of apples (?!) you can leave them out and put some more nuts in there or just go with the sugar and cinnamon – works both just fine.

    INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

    • English
    • Deutsch

    For the dough:
    1/4 cup (55g) unsalted butter, melted
    1/3 cup (80ml) lukewarm milk
    1/4 cup (60ml) lukewarm water
    2 large eggs

    3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup (60g) sugar
    1/2 tsp. salt
    2 1/4 tsp. instant yeast

    For the filling:
    2 tbsp. unsalted butter
    1/2 cup (110g) packed brown sugar
    1 tbsp. cinnamon
    1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

    1/2 cup (60g) pecans or walnuts, chopped (optional)

    For the glaze:

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. Whisk together the melted butter, milk, water, eggs, and vanilla extract. In a mixing bowl mix together the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast, then add the wet ingredients. Using the dough hook attachment mix and knead, until the dough is smooth. If the dough is too sticky add a little flour, up to a 1/4 cup. Cover the dough and allow to rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

    2. Roll the dough into a 12″ x 20″ (30x50cm) rectangle. In a medium size bowl mix the melted butter with the vanilla, cinnamon and brown sugar. Add apples and nuts (keep a some for the topping), mix well and spread evenly on the dough. Cut the dough crosswise into six 3 1/2″ x 12″ (ca. 8x30cm) strips. Stack the strips on top of one another. Cut the stack into six pieces. Turn the pieces on edge, and place them in the loaf pan one in front of the other from one end of the pan to the other, squeezing them in tight. I sprinkled remaining nuts on top. Cover the pan and allow the loaf to rise for 30 to 45 minutes until it’s almost doubled in size. While the loaf is rising, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

    3. Bake the loaf for 45 to 55 minutes in the center of the oven, tenting it with foil after 30 minutes. Remove the loaf from the oven, and transfer it to a rack to cool for 15 to 20 minutes before turning it out of the pan to cool completely. While still bit warm, spoon the glaze over the top of the loaf.

    1. Geschmolzene Butter, Milch, Wasser, Eier und Vanille Extrakt verrühren. In einer anderen Schüssel Mehl, Zucker, Salz und Hefe vermischen und dann alles zusammenschütten und zu einem glatten Teig verkneten. Sollte der Teig zu klebrig sein, ein bisschen Mehl zugeben. Teig abdecken und an einem warmen Ort etwa eine Stunde gehen lassen, bis sich das Volumen verdoppelt hat.

    2. Den Teig zu einem Rechteck (30x50cm) ausrollen. In einer mittelgroßen Schüssel die geschmolzene Butter, Vanille Extrakt, Zimt und braunen Zucker verrühren. Äpfel und Nüsse unterrühren (bisschen Nüsse zum Bestreuen behalten) und auf dem ausgerollten Teig verteilen. Den Teig in sechs gleiche Streifen (ca. 8x30cm) schneiden und aufeinander legen. Den Stapel in sechs gleiche Stücke schneiden und diese dann hintereinander in eine gefettete Kastenform schichten – man sollte die einzelnen Schichten an der Oberfläche sehen können. Die verbliebenen Nüsse darüberstreuen. Mit einem Küchentuch abdecken und für 30-45 Minuten gehen lassen, bis sich das Volumen nahezu verdoppelt hat. Während der Teig geht, den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen.

    3. Das Brot für 45-55 Minuten in der Mitte des Ofens backen – nach ca. 30 Minuten mit Backpapier oder Alufolie abdecken, damit die Oberfläche nicht verbrennt. Wenn das Brot fertig ist, aus dem Ofen holen und für 15-20 Minuten in der Form abkühlen lassen, bevor es aus der Form herausgenommen werden kann. Solange das Brot noch warm ist, mit der Glasur bestreichen und dann komplett auskühlen lassen.

    Making this bread is really a bit of a mess – if you use enough flour to roll out the dough, it won’t stick to the surface too much. That helps when you cut and arrange the strips of dough with the filling on top of each other.

      I made this today – my first attempt at a sweet bread. It was fairly messy like you warned, but in a great ‘getting your hands stuck in’ way! And all totally worth it because it tastes so, so good!! Thanks for a fab recipe and easy to follow instructions.

        Glad it worked out – and yes – big mess, but the result is delicious ;))

        Cheers,
        Marc

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
