Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter (cooled)
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and cooled melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to maintain a tender crumb.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. Optionally, sprinkle additional cinnamon and sugar on top to create a sweet crust.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Make sure eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
- Do not overmix the batter; some lumps are fine to keep the bread tender.
- If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover it with foil halfway through baking.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with butter or glaze.
