Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
Leavening and Spices:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt
Liquid and Binding Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by setting the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and generously coat a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or butter.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend the dry ingredients – ensuring an even distribution of flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Create a separate mixture by whisking together the liquid components – milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smoothly integrated.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring with minimal strokes until just combined; avoid overmixing to maintain the bread’s tender texture.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform baking.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge clean and free of raw batter.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it rest inside the pan for 10 minutes, allowing the structure to stabilize and prevent crumbling.
- Carefully release the bread from the pan and position it on a wire cooling rack, allowing it to reach room temperature before slicing.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and even baking, preventing lumpy texture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter, which can lead to tough, dense bread; stir just until ingredients are combined.
- Sprinkle extra cinnamon sugar on top before baking for a crispy, caramelized crust that adds extra sweetness and crunch.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain the bread’s soft texture.
