Easy Cinnamon Swirl Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• 1.33 cups white sugar, divided
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 0.33 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Gather all the necessary ingredients for baking.
2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
3. In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup of sugar with 2 teaspoons of cinnamon; set this cinnamon-sugar mixture aside.
4. In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and oil, then add to the flour mixture. Stir until just moistened to avoid overmixing.
5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle evenly with half of the reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture. Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon-sugar mixture. Use a knife to create a marbled effect by swirling through the batter.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating it's fully baked.
7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Wrap the cooled bread in foil and let it rest overnight for enhanced flavor and texture before slicing.
8. Slice, serve, and enjoy your homemade cinnamon swirl bread!
