BBA: Artos (or) Greek Celebration Bread

As you can see, my Artos bread had an identity crisis. Much like an out-of-control stage mom, I couldn't let my bread shine in its original state. And the result was NOT pretty. Nope, I messed with a good thing and, it was still good, but I think that it would have been better in its original state. You see, it's a sweet, spicy bread. I promised my sister I'd make cinnamon rolls. I ran out of time and this was my lame attempt to kill two birds with one stone. I tried to make a monkey type bread with a cinnamon sugar glaze . . . and that's actually what I made. But, it was only ok. At some point I'll remake this in each form: traditional Artos bread and rolled out as the base for cinnamon rolls. I bet it'll be great each way.

At least you tried something creative and if it tasted good, that's all that matters!

Sounds like a great idea in theory! Too bad it didn't work out exactly as you hoped.

Aw! You are too sweet to make something for your sister. I am sure she enjoyed it and appreciated the effort. I do that all the time...something that sounds good in theory then...the end result isnt what I expected.

The artos that wanted to be a cinnamon roll! I can imagine that was a tasty combination, and your bread turned out really nicely.

I'm sorry this didn't work out the way you wanted it too. It still sounds really yummy. I bet this dough would be excellent for cinnamon rolls.
