Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Recipe View Gather all ingredients before beginning. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup of the sugar and the cinnamon; set aside for the swirl. (2 minutes)

Recipe View In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. (3 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and oil. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Do not overmix. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle evenly with half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon-sugar mixture. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the batter to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the bread tough. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (45-50 minutes)

Recipe View Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

Recipe View For best results, wrap the cooled bread in foil and let it sit overnight before slicing and serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to improve. (12 hours)
