Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

   Combine flour and baking powder in a bowl.

   Divide the dough in two. Shape each half into a loaf about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the loaves 4 inches apart on the baking sheet; flatten tops slightly with your hand. Beat remaining egg white until foamy and brush over the tops. Lightly sprinkle cinnamon on the loaves after brushing on the egg white.
