Whole Wheat Cinnamon Swirl Bread | Whole Wheat Bread

I always prefer eating homemade food and I truly believe homemade is healthy. Though there are days when you literally cannot prepare homemade food or you just want to spend some time outside the kitchen and enjoy your time and spend quality time with family without being worried about the meal to serve them, which is absolutely OK! I have always wanted to bake my own whole wheat bread at home. I was always been a bit skeptical when it comes to baking whole wheat flour bread at home because whole wheat bread is the difficult one to bake with the perfect texture, taste, and fluffy. But, until and unless you try you won’t get the results…Isn’ it? So, I gave it a try and the result is, a freshly baked loaf with perfect texture and taste.

This whole wheat cinnamon swirl bread makes your home smell of a bakery. ❤ Having a fresh loaf of whole wheat cinnamon swirl bread that too homemade makes my morning yummy. Take a slice of this bread, spread some butter and enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee.

Using a good quality yeast can really make your task easy. I have used Fleischmann’s Rapid Rise Instant yeast. If you are a beginner and try your hands on whole wheat bread, I insist you buy this instant yeast and try this bread loaf recipe at home. You can skip adding cinnamon if you want a plain whole wheat bread.

2 Cup whole wheat flour
½ Cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp brown sugar
