Cinnamon Star Bread

I made a delicious Cinnamon Star Bread to go with our Christmas breakfast this year, and it was every bit as magical as it looks. This King Arthur Baking recipe is wonderfully straightforward — simple steps, stunning results, and the kind of centerpiece that makes everyone at the table pause for a moment before digging in.

It’s perfect for a crowd, but it also freezes beautifully if you want to tuck part of it away for a cozy future treat. And if you have Vietnamese cinnamon in your pantry, absolutely use it — the flavor is deeper, warmer, and it made this star shine even brighter.

Oh, and I heard Santa is bringing me a new Bundt pan. You know what that means…next bake is cookies! Just kidding. (Mostly.)

If this bake brings a little sparkle to your holiday table, share a photo on Facebook with #thequiltedbakery — I’d love to see your star‑shaped sweetness.
