Description

This Cinnamon Roll Bread combines the flavors of classic cinnamon rolls into a quick and easy loaf cake. Soft and tender with swirls of cinnamon sugar and a sweet vanilla glaze on top, it’s perfect for breakfast or an indulgent snack.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 12 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, milk, and the lightly beaten egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and a dense bread.
  4. Make Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, blend brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.
  5. Layer Batter and Cinnamon Swirl: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter, then use a knife to gently swirl it through. Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon mixture for a beautiful marbled effect.
  6. Bake the Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare and Drizzle Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and drizzle over the cooled cinnamon roll bread for a sweet finish.

Notes

  • Use dairy or non-dairy milk as preferred.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
  • The glaze thickness can be adjusted by varying the amount of milk.
  • Ensure bread is cooled before applying glaze to prevent it from melting.
