1tspsalt
½tspground cinnamon

Preparation
In a small bowl, mix yeast and water; set aside until foamy. In a large bowl, combine flour, half cup brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Stir egg into yeast; pour into flour mixture and mix on low speed.
Add butter, and mix until combined. Knead dough until smooth and pliable but still relatively wet. This will be about 5 minutes on a stand mixer.
Grease a large bowl and 2 baking sheets with oil; set baking sheets aside. Scrape dough into bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Halve dough, and place 1 piece on each baking sheet. Stretch out slightly, until dough forms a 1-inch-thick oval; cover with greased plastic wrap. Let rise again about 1 hour.
With greased fingers, dimple surface of each loaf; sprinkle with 1 pint berries and ¼ cup brown sugar each. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown, rotating once. Slice and serve warm.
