      I LOVE this bread, which the author modeled after brioche; if you like the flavors of brioche and cinnamon, I would highly recommend this recipe! I add even more butter by buttering the finished brioche, lol. My husband isn't a big fan, but he doesn't like brioche, so I think that's why. I did have issues both times with the rise in the fridge, where it's supposed to double after "at least 1 hour"; mine didn't budge after 2 days (!), and the second time I gave it three hours and it didn't move. The good news is that the bread had risen as expected before and after this step, and turned out quite delicious both times. I'm pretty sure that it wasn't user error as I used the same batch of yeast for a ton of other recipes before and after, and have a temperature controlled proofer for bread dough as well as an oven thermometer. Anyway, this bread is really good!

The editors at America’s Test Kitchen have developed a fondness for particular breakfast and brunch recipes over the years. These 110 carefully selected recipes are more than worth the expense and effort of making them. They are also unique: Instead of standing over the stove frying eight eggs for our Huevos Rancheros, we take a hands-free approach by baking the eggs directly in the ranchero sauce; for the lightest waffles without the fuss of whipping egg whites, we steal a trick from Japanese tempura and add seltzer water to the batter; we boil potatoes for our Home Fries with baking soda to break down their exteriors, allowing them to brown nicely in the oven as their interiors cook though.

You can rest assured the test kitchen has made hundreds of batches of the dishes featured here to determine which recipe will work best, and taste best, when you make it at home. You’ll also get our top picks for key supermarket ingredients and cookware that will set you up to succeed. And you can trust our calls on them all because we don’t accept advertising.
