This may not look like much but let me tell you… it is delicious! My kids and I love root beer floats and have seen a lot of homemade popsicles out there that claim to be rootbeer floats, but they are imposters. Thanks to Almost Unschoolers for this amazing find because here is a real […]
The weather here in Oregon has been really off the past couple of months. It was stinkin’ hot for awhile and then summer kind of disappeared the end of August. I’m not real happy about it. I LOVE the nice weather. Well, let me rephrase that. I love wearing flip flops and shorts. My wardrobe […]
I have decided that April Fools Day is one of my favorite holidays. Sounds a little strange maybe but fun food and me? Yep, we go together like peanut butter and jelly. And April Fools Day screams fun food. So what do you think about our Deviled Eggs? Who doesn’t love deviled eggs, right? Oh […]
I haven’t done a single thing for the 4th of July =o( Where have I been??? We typically don’t do much for the 4th, though. It’s always been one of those holidays where I’m frustrated because of all the loud noises that keep waking my kids up! Does that make me grouchy? =o( But a […]
Normally when I look at Sue’s blog I sit back and think “Man, why can’t I do that?!” She is amazing and so talented when it comes to baking and decorating the cutest cookies ever. Then I saw this post and thought “holy smokes, I can do that!” I was so excited! I’m always looking […]
Meatloaf and mashed potatoes are comfort food to me. I love them! My kids love them! And I love that my kids love them! But I wanted to kid it up a little. (We eat meatloaf a lot.) So I made my regular meatloaf. It’s nothing uber fancy. I buy the spice packet at the […]
I had all these grand plans to do great things this Easter. Some of them got done but a lot of them are still in my “to do” pile. Crud. At 6am when I was getting ready to pack my kid’s lunch for school I remembered I wanted to pack their lunch a little differently. […]
I have a little thing about vampires. I was about to write “I’m embarrassed to say” but I’m not. What the heck. I’m obsessed. I said it. Seriously, I am. It all started with the Twilight books and has gone a little out of control since. =o) If you need to know a good book […]

oh that looks really good, and we only have those chips at the bulk food store, so at least I have that going for me right?
I found that if you ask at Great Harvest Bread they will sell you their chips by the pound. They are smaller than what you buy in the store. We bought a few pounds and keep them in the freezer.
Oh my gosh! Great to know! I will ask next time I go in. Thank you!
This is the most delicious bread ever! I love all the ways cinnamon chips can be used in baking. Your loaves are beautiful, Erin.
This looks so delicious.
Sounds delicious! But a question – does this dough get kneaded at all?
I’ve never heard of cinnamon chips before. I love cinnamon – I’ll need to get me some of those once baking season starts 🙂
The only tip on bread making is practice! Your bread looks delicious–I’ve just discovered cinnamon chips. they are fun.
Great Harvest is a dangerous store, all of their bread is yummy.
I cannot wait to make my own cinnamon chips and then this bread.
Yummy! This looks delish! Would love if you’d join our Countdown to Fall link party! Hope to see you there! Have a great week!

This looks divine…a bread I know I’d love too! Thanks so much for sharing at Mix it up Monday 🙂
Yummy! That looks so good. Thanks for sharing at Sharing Saturday!
Erin you are putting me over the edge with all these fabulous recipes!!! I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled for the cinnamon chips….now I will be on a serious mission for them to make this bread recipe!!! 🙂
If you have a WinCo in your area, they carry cinnamon chips year round.
Tonight is my third attempt at making this bread. I live in Alaska and have had a lot of problems getting the bread to rise at all. So the first two loafs weren’t very good. I let the bread rise this time for well over three hours and it is looking much better. It is now baking and I am ready to eat!
My guess would be that you are using too little flour. The reason I say this is because your dough looks overly wet, similar to a sweet bread (like zucchini or pumpkin) batter. I’ve always been afraid of using too much flour, but I’ve recently realized that I’ve been using too little flour for a long time. It makes the dough saggy (if you set it out in a mound it won’t hold its shape and will spread out), and it is very hard to work with. Since adding a little more flour, my rolls, bread, and especially cinnamon rolls have been so much easier to work with and have turned out better. Generally you want to be able to handle your dough without first having to completely cover your bread or hands with flour. Try adding more flour and see what happens. In general, yeast doughs should look smooth, not wet. You could also try increasing each of your rising times to 1 or 1 1/2 hours and see what happens. Good luck!
Thanks for the cinnamon chip recipe. I’m going to try it out!
I have a problem with the chips melting when adding to dough, third time I think I will freeze them beforehand and try that.
