This is the first time I have tried baking cinnamon bread but i have tasted the cinnamon buns before and they are heavenly. Specially the cinnamon is such a flavourful ingredient to make any recipe tastier. I have used the brown sugar here so the colour is slightly darker and my kids overloaded the bread with cinnamon spread.
Give a try once and you will fall in love it. You can simply warm it for a minute and can enjoy anytime with your tea or coffee.

Using a rolling pin roll the dough into a rectangle and spread the cinnamon butter filling evenly leaving a clean 1/2 inch border around the edges.
Roll up the dough and using a knife, cut the log in half lengthwise leaving one edge uncut for about 1.2 inch.
Take the baking tray and put the parchment paper and Start braiding the two pieces, trying to keep the open layers exposed so the cut ends remain on top. Take both the ends together.
Brush the remaining cinnamon filling. My kids just overloaded the cinnamon filling on the bread.
Bake for around 25 minutes until golden brown but check around 20 minutes.
Entire house was filled with the cinnamon fragrance and it was raining outside . What a heavenly combination.

I do believe all of the ideas you have introduced in your post. They’re really convincing and can certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are too brief for beginners. May you please prolong them a bit from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.
