Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter (cooled)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking during baking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon ensuring even distribution of leavening and spices.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the whole milk and cooled melted butter, mixing until fully combined to create a smooth wet base.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
- Pour Batter and Add Topping: Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan, smoothing the top. Optionally, sprinkle with additional cinnamon sugar for a sweet crust.
- Bake the Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or serving warm, sliced as desired.
Notes
- For an extra cinnamon kick, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
- Make sure the melted butter is cooled to avoid cooking the eggs when mixed.
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure the bread remains soft and fluffy.
- Serving warm enhances the cinnamon aroma and softness.
- This recipe can be doubled and baked in larger pans with adjusted baking times.
