This is from Fleischmann yeast. Old-Fashioned Cinnamon Swirl Loaf
Makes 2 loaves. 6 to 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/3 cup sugar 2 packages FLEISCHMANN'S RapidRise Yeast 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 cup milk 1/2 cup water 1/3 cup butter or margarine, cut into pieces 2 eggs 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted 1/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons SPICE ISLANDS Ground Cinnamon 1 (8-ounce) package imported chopped or snipped pitted dates 1 egg white, lightly beaten Crumb Topping (recipe follows)
In large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 1/3 cup sugar, undissolved yeast, and salt. Heat milk, water, and 1/3 cup butter until very warm (120ƒ to 130ƒF); stir into dry ingredients. Stir in eggs and enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cover; let rest on floured surface 10 minutes. To fill and shape loaves: Divide dough in half. Roll each half to 16- x 7-inch rectangle. Brush each rectangle with 3 tablespoons melted butter to within 1 inch of edges. Combine 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, and dates; sprinkle evenly over dough. Beginning at short end of each rectangle, roll up tightly as for jelly roll; pinch seams and ends to seal. Place, seam sides down, in 2 greased 9- x 5-inch loaf pans. Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled, about 30 to 45 minutes. Brush loaves with egg white; sprinkle with Crumb Topping. Bake at 375ƒF for 40 to 45 minutes or until done. Remove from pans; let cool on wire racks. Crumb Topping: In small bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon SPICE ISLANDS Ground Cinnamon. Cut in 3 tablespoons cold butter or margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
