Cinnamon Star Bread
Nov 13, 2025 03:34 AM
With layers of cinnamon sugar and a sweet glaze, this cinnamon star bread is a festive alternative to classic cinnamon rolls.
It’s feeling super festive around our house. The kids' excitement for Christmas is palpable – the air is buzzing with it. I can’t help but have picked up some of that excitement myself. I was running errands over the weekend and pulled up to a stoplight. When I looked in my rearview mirror, guess who I saw? Santa. In the SUV behind me. I’m sure he has more than a few errands ahead.
I will be baking throughout December, since I have few baked goods on the list. This one will surely be making an appearance on Christmas morning. It feels special enough for Christmas, but is actually easy (and fun!) to make. I tested this recipe five times and have become super fast at building the star. It doesn’t take long even the first time.
