Braided Cinnamon Sugar Bread image

I wanted to make a bread that would be both delicious and visually appealing to look at. This is bread is not actually braided. The way you roll it out and slice it creates the appearance of it being braided. This taste like a giant cinnamon sugar covered doughnut. Its very flaky and light in texture. You could add a powdered sugar glaze, raisins or leave as is. I love the way it looks when its done, and it couldn't be easier to accomplish the look. Enjoy!
