Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until completely incorporated and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread tough.
- In a small separate bowl, mix the cinnamon with an additional 2 tablespoons of sugar to create a cinnamon-sugar swirl mixture.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over this layer.
- Add the remaining batter on top, then finish by sprinkling the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the surface.
- Use a knife to create a light swirl pattern through the batter, which will distribute the cinnamon throughout the bread.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve. The bread can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: Make sure to measure your ingredients precisely, especially the flour, to ensure the right texture for your bread. Too much flour can lead to a dry loaf.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, stir gently until just combined. Overmixing can make the bread dense and tough.
- Customize Your Swirl: Feel free to get creative with your cinnamon-sugar mixture! Add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor even more.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your bread around the 45-minute mark. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cooling Matters: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps maintain its shape and texture.
- Storage Tips: To keep your bread fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. You can also freeze slices for a quick treat later!
