INSTRUCTIONS
Soften yeast in warm water and set aside. Combine boiling water and
cinnamon; set aside. Combine sugar and eggs; beat well. Add melted
butter to egg mixture and beat again. Skim off 1/4 cup clear cinnamon
water and add along with yeast and milk to egg mixture, blending well.
Combine dry ingredients and add to batter; knead dough until smooth
and elastic, about 10 minutes. Shape dough to fit into 2 greased 8
inch round pans; crisscross 2 strips of dough over each loaf. Cover
and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk. Brush loaves with
beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 350 degrees
for 25 minutes or until brown. Push dyed eggs into bread immediately
when loaves are removed from oven. SOURCE: Southern Living Magazine,
