4. Combine the Wet and Dry Mixtures
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture.
- Stir until just combined—be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
5. Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Filling
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon.
- This mixture will create the signature swirl in your cinnamon bread.
6. Assemble the Bread
- Pour half of the bread batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
- Add the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
7. Bake
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Check occasionally to ensure the top doesn’t over-brown. If necessary, cover with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
8. Cool and Enjoy
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For added indulgence, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter and sprinkle with a touch more cinnamon sugar.
Tips for Success
- Quality Ingredients: Use fresh cinnamon for the most aromatic flavor.
- Customize: Add raisins, chopped nuts, or even a drizzle of vanilla glaze for variations.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze for longer storage.
