Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 ounces Buttermilk -- microwaved 20 second
3 tablespoons Honey
3 tablespoons Egg
2 tablespoons Butter -- unsalted
1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
2 1/4 cups Bread flour
3/4 teaspoon Salt
1 1/4 teaspoons Yeast

Put all the ingredients in the pan. Start the bread machine and start a
kitchen timer for 30 minutes. Cover a bread board with plastic wrap and dust
with flour. When the time is up, remove the dough from the container with
your hands, leaving the bread pan in place in your machine. Place dough on
floured board. Dust top of dough and your hands with flour. Pat dough into a
6"x10" rectangle. Combine 2 teaspoons cinnamon and 1 tsp. sugar. Spoon
mixture in three long rows, down the dough. Roll dough into a fat cylinder,
left to right, then fold it in half twisting the ends together. Place the
dough, ends down, back in the bread machine, close the lid and continue the
cycle.

Comments: I used buttermilk powder mixed with water instead of buttermilk,
and didn't zap it for 20 seconds as it was already warm as I used lukewarm
water. I used regular margarine and decreased the salt some. I always use a
bit more yeast as it seems to rise better in my machine.

Notes from the recipe: The 30 minutes is just a guide. You need to wait
until it is done kneading and starts the first rise before you take the
dough out. In my machine that was closer to 35-40 minutes.
The editor also said that if your machine has a preheat or rest phase at the
beginning of the cycle, the 30 minutes doesn't start till after that. Also
be sure to keep the machine closed while you are putting the cinnamon on so
any heat in the machine stays in. Work as quickly as possible because the
machine still ticks off the time while you're doing it.

I found it to be extremely sticky, and although the editor said not to use
much flour on your hands and the plastic wrap - I HAD to! I also found that=

the dough was very mooshy <G> and the instruction to "fold in half twisting
the ends together" was a joke. I folded it (by this time it had "mooshed"
itself into a totally different shape) and tried to twist (yeah - right). It
then slooped into the bread machine, there was no "placing" it anywhere!!=20
BUT the final result was excellent and I will make it again!
