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 Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan to avoid sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt thoroughly to distribute the leavening and seasoning evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the whole milk, add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Gently mix everything just until combined to keep the batter light and tender without overworking the gluten.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into your prepared baking pan, smoothing the surface evenly with a spatula to create a uniform bread loaf.
- Prepare Spiced Sugar Coating: In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg together to form the flavorful topping.
- Sprinkle Coating on Batter: Evenly sprinkle the spiced sugar mixture over the surface of the batter to create a sweet and aromatic crust.
- Bake the Bread: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the bread turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
Notes
- Serve warm with a drizzle of icing for an extra touch of sweetness and indulgence.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread light and fluffy.
- This bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Customize the spiced sugar by adding a pinch of cloves or cardamom for extra warmth.
