Cinnamon Donut Bread Recipe
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully blended and smooth.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the bread’s texture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula.
- In a small bowl, mix together the topping ingredients (sugar and cinnamon). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter for a sweet, cinnamon-infused crust.
- Bake the bread for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Don’t Overmix the Batter: Stir the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense bread instead of a light and tender texture.
- Swirl the Cinnamon Sugar for Flavor and Visual Appeal: The swirl not only enhances the flavor distribution but also gives the bread its beautiful marbled look, so don’t skip this step!
- Add the Donut Coating After Cooling: Let the bread cool completely before brushing with butter and adding the cinnamon-sugar topping to ensure it adheres properly and maintains its crunch.
