Ingredients
Scale
For the Bread
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Spiced Sugar Coating
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt. Stir these together to evenly distribute all the dry components.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the whole milk, add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
- Pour batter into pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula to create a uniform thickness.
- Prepare spiced sugar coating: In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter with granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir well until the sugar is evenly coated with the spices and butter.
- Sprinkle coating: Evenly sprinkle the spiced sugar mixture over the top of the batter in the pan, ensuring full coverage for a crunchy, sweet crust after baking.
- Bake the bread: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Serve warm with a drizzle of icing or glaze for an extra touch of sweetness.
- You can store leftover bread wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Experiment with adding chopped nuts or raisins for extra texture and flavor.
- Use a sharp knife to slice to avoid crumbling.
