# Ingredients:
→ Bread
01 -
1 large egg, at room temperature
02 -
1 ¼ cups (306 g) whole milk
03 -
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
04 -
½ teaspoon kosher salt
05 -
1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
06 -
2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
07 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
08 -
2 teaspoons baking powder
→ Spiced Sugar Coating
09 -
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
10 -
¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, melted
11 -
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
12 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F and spray a loaf pan (8 ½ x 4 ½-inch) with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a big mixing bowl, stir together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder until it's well blended.
03 -
Whisk the milk, vanilla, melted butter, and egg in a different bowl until everything looks smooth and mixed.
04 -
Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and stir gently until the batter is blended. It’s okay if it’s a bit lumpy—just don’t overdo it.
05 -
Pour the batter into the loaf pan, spreading it out to make an even surface.
06 -
Pop the pan into the oven and bake for 60–70 minutes. It’s done when you stick a toothpick in the center and it comes out with tiny crumbs, and the top looks golden.
07 -
Take the bread out of the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes in the pan. Then carefully transfer it to parchment paper to cool completely.
08 -
As the bread cools down but is still warm, brush melted butter across the top and sides using a pastry brush.
09 -
Mix the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a small bowl. Shake or sprinkle the mixture over the buttered bread, turning it to coat all sides evenly.
