Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (306 g) whole milk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spray an 8 ½ x 4 ½-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture.
  6. Stir gently until just combined.
  7. Do not overmix; the batter should be a bit runny.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Spread the batter evenly in the pan.
  10. Bake for 60-70 minutes.
  11. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs and the top is golden brown.
  12. Remove the bread from the oven.
  13. Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  14. Carefully remove the bread from the pan.
  15. Place the bread on a large piece of parchment paper.
  16. While the bread is still warm, gently brush the entire surface with the ¼ cup melted butter for the coating.
  17. In a small bowl, mix together the ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon nutmeg for the coating.
  18. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the buttered bread, ensuring it's evenly coated.

Notes

Ensure your egg is at room temperature for a smoother batter.
Do not overmix the batter; it can lead to a tough bread.
Brush the warm bread with butter immediately after removing it from the pan so the sugar coating sticks well.
Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
