Breakfast at My House

01/09/2013

January always brings out the bread baker in me. Maybe it's because the heat is cranked up in the house and the radiators are toasty warm -- a great spot for yeast dough to rise.
I was planning on baking a loaf of cinnamon-raisin bread and eating slices toasted and slathered with butter. But then, I ran across this recipe for Cinnamon Bread Twists and everything changed. They seemed like the perfect morning treat alongside my cappuccino. I substituted Nutella for the two tablespoons of apple butter that was called for; probably influenced by the chocolate-hazelnut panettone I just devoured over the holidays from acclaimed Minneapolis bakery Patisserie 46 (definitely worth visiting if you're ever in the Twin Cities).
Best eaten the day they are baked, but still pretty good the day after -- ENJOY!

Looks delicious, Eileen.
It's amazing how a little treat with coffee in the morning makes it seem like all is right in my world!
I think we are kindred breakfast spirits ;)

Hello: I love the cup and saucer in the picture. Can you tell me where they come from? Thank you.

Hi Christine,
The cup is handmade by a friend of mine, Lynn Smiser Bowers. You can access her website through my "links" page (Favorites... food & such). I've been collecting Lynn's work for 40 years now! The plate was purchased through Tuesday Morning and is Calvin Klein.
