PW's cinnamon bread remake

Pw made this, I decided it would be easier to do it in the bread machine. SO much easier.

1 cup Milk
6 Tablespoons Butter
2-½ teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
2 whole Eggs
⅓ cups Sugar
3-½ cups All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
⅓ cups Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cinnamon
Egg And Milk, Mixed Together, For Brushing

Melt 6 TBS of butter in microwave, then add milk. Put this in the bottom of the bread machine. Add the eggs, 1/3C sugar, salt, flour and finally the yeast. Turn on the dough setting and forget about it for 1 1/2 hrs. Take it out and roll it out to about 1/2 inch. Spread melted butter, 1/3 C sugar and 2 Tbs cinnamon on the dough and then roll up. Be sure to seal the sides. Put in a greased pan and let rise for about an hour. Bake at 350degrees for 40 minutes.

A sweet memory

Well MR. Canner it was fun and we will spend time together next year. I officially put away my canner for the year. Potaotes, green beans and apples all got canned this summer. Hopefully the tomatoes will start putting on and I can water bath them. Hope everyone is enjoying the cooler temps eventhough they are temporary. The first cold front is always the best one.
