Sweet Spiced Sugar Bread (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Bread

01 - 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
02 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 1 large egg, room temperature
04 - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
05 - ½ teaspoon kosher salt
06 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
07 - 1 ¼ cups (306 g) whole milk
08 - 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour

→ Spiced Sugar Coating

09 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
10 - ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
11 - ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
12 - ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, melted

# Instructions:

01 - Turn on your oven and set it to 350°F. Lightly spray a loaf pan (8 ½ x 4 ½-inch) with nonstick spray.
02 - Grab a big bowl and stir together baking powder, salt, flour, and sugar.
03 - In another bowl, combine the melted butter, egg, vanilla, and milk. Whisk it all together until it looks smooth.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry mix and gently stir just until no dry spots remain. Don’t mix too much—it’s okay if it’s a little loose.
05 - Transfer the batter into the pan you prepped, and make sure it sits evenly.
06 - Let it bake for about 60-70 minutes. Give it the toothpick test—poke the center, and it should come out with a few moist crumbs. The top should also have a golden-brown color.
07 - Take the bread out of the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes in the pan. Then carefully move it to a sheet of parchment paper to finish cooling.
08 - While it’s still warm, use a pastry brush to spread melted butter over the whole bread.
09 - Mix cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar in a little bowl. Sprinkle it all over the butter-covered bread, making sure to turn the loaf so you coat every side.

# Notes:

01 - This bread is great for breakfast, a sweet bite after dinner, or snacking. It’s even better with tea or coffee.
