- FOR THE DOUGH:
- 1 cup Milk
- 6 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
- 2-1/2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
- 2 cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
- 2-1/2 cups White Flour, Divided
- 1/4 cups Brown Sugar

- Heat milk till warm and add melted butter. Sprinkle on yeast and set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together wheat flour, 2 cups white flour, sugar, and salt. Add eggs and yeast mixture. Gently fold together and dump onto floured surface, using remaining 1/2 cup flour. Knead in all the flour, adding a spoonful or two extra if needed. Once dough becomes less sticky, knead for 2 minutes.
- Place dough in a buttered bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let rise for 2 hours.
- To create the cinnamon swirl, roll out dough into a rectangle and spread with the softened butter and cinnamon. Roll up jelly roll style and place in the buttered loaf pan. Let rise 30 minutes.
- Make the egg wash, using egg and water. Brush over the top. Bake at 350u0b0F for 30 minutes.
- Loosen sides, remove from pan, and cut a thick slice!
