Cinnamon Swirl Bread

I have a friend who's birthday was Saturday and I asked her what kind of bread would you like the Bread Fairy to make you , and she picked Cinnamon Swirl Bread.  Here again going out of my comfort zone, as I have never made this kind of bread before.  I went searching on  All recipes.com and found this recipe Cinnamon Swirl Bread.  The only thing I changed in the recipe was to add 4 teaspoons of vital wheat gluten, why you might ask, because to me it makes a more stable loaf and it seems to rise just a bit more.  I also did not put the glaze on it because it tasted sweet enough to me.  Below are some pictures as I made the bread.

The above picture is rolling the dough out and putting the butter and cinnamon sugar on.

This is dough as I rolled it up like a jelly roll.

In the pan to rise about an hour.

Ready to go into the oven.

Out of the oven,  I brushed the tops with butter.

Here it is cut and ready to eat,  I don't think I did a bad job and it tasted good too.  So a Happy Birthday goes out to Jeanie and her birthday bread.
