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
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8 ½ x 4 ½-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk, room temperature egg, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry flour mixture. Stir gently until just combined.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top slightly.
- Bake for 60 to 70 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then carefully remove the bread from the pan.
- In a small bowl, mix together ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- While the bread is still warm, use a brush to coat the surface with the ¼ cup melted unsalted butter.
- Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over all sides of the buttered bread.
