While your bread is baking your house will smell amazing! You can make your own honey butter or use store bought. It adds a delicate flavor while the cinnamon sugar adds a wonder spicy punch. While this is nice as a breakfast bread, it would also make a nice addition to a brunch buffet, or in place of cake served for peach or strawberry shortcake with whipped cream.
