Quick Cinnamon Bread: Easy no yeast bread

 Baking is not only for your tummy, sometimes it's about your mind.

There are so many things to do, life is busier when we grown up ^^, and I still try to find small happiness in everyday. Baking is one of my favourite hobby, spending time making, waiting and smelling lovely aroma from the oven is the best part of it.
But there are time that I don't have that waiting time luxury, only short amount of time for playing, and I have to find something to fit into that time.
This bread is the right answer, only half the hour, you will get delicious and aromatic cinnamon bread that you will enjoy. There is no yeast in this bread, so you don't have to wait for hours to let it rise. It's a biscuit like texture. Just mix the fat (I use rice bran shortening) into the flour mixture, mix in the milk, and fold until smooth, easy? It's very small recipe, but you can double the recipe if you like. For the frosting, you can spread it over the bread (I make a lot of it, it's very delicious ^^), or just drizzle it over. 
Note: For the allergy-free bread, you can use oil for brushing the bread instead of butter and use almond or soy milk instead of milk. 
And use silken tofu instead of cream cheese for frosting.
