Happy Birthday Ali! Mine is the 10th. Officially retired on that day!!! I've been on a baking trip lately and I'm loving your bread week! ❤❤
Happy Birthday Beautiful Person 🎂 🎉 God Bless You. I would like a new emoji 🤔 with you in deep thought. Lol. Jk. I think I might pull out my bread machine and give bread a try then this cinnamon swirl bread. Thank you. Have a wonderful day and a wonderful birthday weekend. 🎉
Hey Allie, Happy Birthday. Just wanted to hop on and tell you how much I am enjoying bread week. I made your brown bread for lunch today with Broccoli cheddar soup and it was very yummy! One question – do you always use bread flour? Many of the recipes call for All Purpose but I didn't know if they are interchangeable? Thanks for entertaining me while I exercise at home!
Good morning 😃. Another bread I need to make and share. My dad loves cinnamon raisin bread. He’s diabetic, so I wish I was good with sourdough, but… You may have convinced me to break my ol’ bread machine out. My mom got her for me back when I was first married (rip 😂) at 20. I never liked the big hard crust it put on breads, but I was young and dumb and I guess didn’t realize I could use it for the dough cycle. You did great and I love you reaction 😂. Happy early Birthday 🎂.
I’m making this as a gift for the nurses in the ICU unit at the hospital where my father in law is at. They have been so amazing helping him this past week. Thanks Ali ❤
That would be so good for French toast.
Happy Birthday! My mother made a Cinnamon Swirl Bread. She would make a paste as well but she would add 4 oz of softened Cream Cheese & 2 Tbsp of Sour Cream to the cinnamon instead of milk. I have her recipe for this bread. I just so happen to inherit her recipe box. Great video! It turned out looking yummy despite the bloopers on camera! ❤
I think that would make good french toast.
do u melt the butter? is there a way to just add all together in machine?
Good morning Ali
80"s movie suggestion – Better Off Dead 1985
I don't watch movies much but that one was so funny (to me).
Happy Birthday! Both my grandkids are February birthdays too. And thanks for the lamp suggestion, I think my daughter would love this!
Thank you so much for all your amazing recipes & wisdom! Also a Huge happy birthday 🎉 I am a February birthday also 🥳
I thought your birthday was next month same date though🤦♀️
I do that too offten too. I think something then when I write it out I don't say everything I was thinking
👍
Swirl bread is one of my faves, Miss Ali your not helping my figure 😂 (that's I don't have anymore after having kids😉)
I got my Bow knife on online Walmart and week ago and it is amazing! It was about $12.
Best knife. Cuts like butter!
I usually keep a tablespoon measure in my yeast jar . Saves me from having to rummage through my drawer for the spoon.
Happy Birthday 🎉
I use our electric knife we use for our Thanksgiving turkey. It works great!
It looks like a g
Happy Birthday 🎂 🎉
I must say, I must quit binge watching your videos…..I am making way too much bread? LOL
Happy Birthday!
I use my candle warmer lamp for wax pods, like Scentsy. Works great and it's a cute lamp.
Yum for the bread!!
Happy birthday!!
Looks Delicious 🍞Happy Birthday
So when putting ingredients in just use egg yolk?? & then spead the egg white onto dough then add the cinnamon,powder sugar,splash of milk, then put that on top of egg wash? 😅
You make everything look so easy. You are inspiring me to try homemade bread! And this cinnamon looks so good. Have you ever made pullapart loafs?
Looks awesome, I’m learning to work with Einkorn flour, not at the point of making cinnamon bread but have picked up a few tricks for when I do and am looking forward to it. ❤
Looks amazing. Wonder if you could use Nutella instead of cinnamon ?
👍 looks like a good swirl to me. Looks delicious 😋
Happy birthday!
Have you watched Mannequin or My Chauffeur? Great movies!
Happy early birthday Ali! My birthday is this month too. ☺️
I’m making bread while watching you make bread. 🥂🍞
I am making this now and praying it turns out. I have spent the last 3 days making the sourdough sandwich bread and the bread will concave on the top while baking. Troubleshooting after each time. Im not gonna quit trying though. Hope to finally figure it out. Thank you for teaching us and for the recipes.
That looks great!
My sister(Elaine)and I both made the Brown bread, making them into rolls..Oh they are so good…You guys are awesome.Hope you have a Happy Birthday..The lamp is darling….Sherri-Idaho
Your swirl looks good. I can't wait to try it. Oh, toast it, how delish!
OH, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY, LOOKING GREAT FOR 26!
"Let's put that on a shirt." 😂😂😂
New to your channel and want to say thank you will try your bread recipes
Happy birthday, Ali! Great recipe on the bread recipe; it looks wonderful! 😊🇨🇦
Another great recipe! Thank you
👌
Happy Birthday Ali!! 🎉 I’m looking for one of those bow knives but I’m going to get one with the adjustable thing that helps you make thin slices, my husband likes thinly sliced bread for his lunches and I struggle to cut our homemade bread thin enough so I’m hoping that helps! I’m definitely going to try this recipe next week, I love cinnamon bread for breakfast! Do you think it would freeze well if we sliced it and froze it so we can pull out a slice for the toaster?
Note to self. Do not lube up the bread before putting the cinnamon paste on. I can taste French toast in my future using this bread.
This cinnamon bread turned out beautifully. My family and their tummys thank you!!
Made this bread today. Hands down super Yummy! ❤ I will make this one again and again! Thank you for the great recipe!
Random question… why can’t you smell things? Happy birthday 🎉 love both your channels
This bread should be outlawed. It's all I can do to not eat the whole loaf. It's absolutely delicious.
Bread looks delicious! As for the bow knife (don't know if it was mentioned previously) why can't you put the bread on the edge of the cutting board to keep it slicing without hitting the board?
Keep your coffee warm!
