Disclaimer here... I am Canadian, not American, but a lot of us
have similar roots, part of mine beng American, and out foods
are similar. I would not say that cinnamon bread is traditional.
It is not even very common. What is more common is raisin bread,
which often has cinnamon in it, and often has it rolled into a
swirl (dough is flattened out, cinnamon sprinkled on top then
rolled into a loaf).

There are all sorts of different types of sweet rolls that use
cinnamon. The common feature is that they enough taking a ball
or dough and flattening it, sprinkling it with cinnamon or
cinnamon sugar, rolling it up so that there is a swirl of
cinnamon, and then slicing it into individual size pieces and
cooking them. They can be deep fried or they can be baked
individually or packed into a pan. Some or the variations are
known as sticky buns or Chelsea buns. These usually have raisins
and / or nuts in them and are bagged in a pan with a brown sugar
and butter mixture on the bottom that turns into a sweet sticky
sauce.

Then there is the cinnamon Danish, but they are so inferior to
those found in Denmark that they don't deserve the name.
