Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all of the brioche dough ingredients and knead until smooth and elastic.
  2. Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
  3. Prepare the cinnamon sugar filling by mixing melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour in a bowl.
  4. Roll out the brioche dough and cut it into squares, layering them with the cinnamon filling in between.
  5. Place the stacked squares in a greased loaf pan and let rise again for about 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. While baking, prepare the cream cheese glaze by whipping cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until smooth.
  8. Once the bread is baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top before serving.

Notes

To adjust sweetness, start with less honey or sugar. The optional baking soda and powder can give a lighter texture but are not necessary if the dough rises well.
