4 eggs, lightly beaten
3 3/4 cups warm water

Preparation

Combine 4 cups flour, yeast and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
Add water, eggs and oil, beat well until it has the consistencey of cake batter.

Knead in stand mixer with dough hook or by hand for 10 minutes.
Add up to 1 more cup of flour if needed.
Fold in cinnamon chips gently to avoid melting. *Alternately you could roll the divided dough into a rectangle and press the chips into the dough. Roll the dough up from the short side and tuck the ends under before placing in a greased loaf pan.
Place dough in greased bowl, cover and let rise for one hour, or until doubled.
Punch dough down and shape dough into four loaves.
Allow to rise for another hour, or until doubled.
