Sugar Loaf (A B M)

Very sweet bread interspersed with chunks of cinnamon sugar. Makes a good dessert bread and is really delicious with jams and jellies. Kids will love this because as they take bites they'll find "pockets" of semi-melted sugar chunks throughout the bread. Recipe does come with a warning, so read directions carefully.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Yields: 1 1/2 pound loaf

Ingredients

• 9  ounces warm water
• 2  tablespoons butter
• 2 1⁄2 tablespoons powdered milk
• 1  tablespoon sugar
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 3  cups unbleached white flour
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1⁄2 cup  sugar cube (read **WARNING** carefully)
• 1⁄2 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Add the ingredients (EXCEPT for the sugar cubes and cinnamon) into your bread machine according to manufacturer's directions.
2. In the meantime, in a clean and dry plastic bag combine the sugar cubes and ground cinnamon. Using the flat side of a mallet, crush the sugar cube mixture to a coarse powder. **WARNING**: You want the sugar cubes to be no larger than 1/16" in diameter or you could run the risk of jamming the bread machine mechanism if the chunks are too big.
3. Add the crushed sugar mixture at the start of the fruit/nut beep cycle OR towards the end of the mixing cycle.
4. Watch the bread machine {{closely}}. Once you pour in the crushed sugar cubes, be certain the sugar mixture incorporates well into the dough so you don't run the risk of jamming the beater.
5. Baking time varies.
