My Inspiration

As we close out the year and head into the next it is the perfect time to reflect. I started baking because I did not know how to bake, but I loved pastries! The first desserts I baked were all inspired by things I loved, but couldn't dream of making. This most recent treat, Kanellängd fits right in that bucket.

I was watching the Great American Baking Show Holiday Edition (quite the mouth full of a title), and watched them make Christmas breads. The Kanellängd looked challenging, but not impossible. So I decided to whip it up for Christmas. It is a Swedish cinnamon bread that resembles cinnamon buns, but is not as sweet.

The bread was fun to make because the dessert stays together as one long bread. I highly recommend trying this out and baking it in advance of Christmas morning. Just make sure to allocate enough time for multiple sessions of letting it proof.

As always, I made a video of me trying it out for the first time. Take a peak and let me know if you try it out!
