Cozy Cinnamon Sugar Sweet Bread

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep & Preheat

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

• Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

2. Make the Batter

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

• Add melted butter, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla. Stir until just combined (a few lumps are fine—overmixing = dense bread!).

3. Add the Topping

• Pour batter into the prepared pan.

• Brush the top with melted butter.

• Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle evenly over the batter.

4. Bake to Golden Perfection

• Bake for 45–50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

• The top should be crackled and golden.

5. Cool & Serve

• Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

• Slice and enjoy warm with butter, coffee, or a drizzle of honey!
