Cinnamon Bread

1 cup milk
3/4 cup water
1/3 cup butter or margarine
6 1/2 - 7 1/2 cups flour
6 Tbls. sugar
1 Tbls. salt
1 package yeast
3 eggs at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 Tbls. butter or margarine melted
1 egg white


Combine milk, water and 1/3 cup butter in a small sauce pan. Heat over low heat until liquids are very warm, butter does not need to melt. Place 4 cups flour in a bowl with 6 tablespoons sugar, salt and yeast. Mix well. Add eggs and warm liquids, mix and knead. Knead in remaining flour. Place in a well greased bowl and roll around to grease top. Let rest covered until dough doubles in size. Punch dough down and divide in half. Shape halves into loaves and place in well greased pans, let rise until doubled in size. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove from pans and brush all surfaces well with shortening or cooking oil. Enjoy!
