Cinnamon Bread

Ingredients:

INGREDIENTS	QUANTITY
All-Purpose Flour	2 cups
Granulated Sugar	1 cup
Baking Powder	1 tablespoon
Salt	1/2 teaspoon
Ground Cinnamon	2 tablespoons
Milk	1 cup
Unsalted Butter (melted)	1/2 cup
Eggs	2
Vanilla Extract	1 teaspoon
Vegetable Oil	1/4 cup

Instructions:

1. Preparing the Dry Ingredients:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Ensure the dry ingredients are well combined.

2. Mixing the Wet Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted unsalted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Whisk the wet ingredients together until they form a smooth and uniform mixture.

3. Combining the Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula to gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

4. Preparing the Loaf Pan:

Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Dust the greased pan lightly with flour, tapping out any excess.

5. Pouring the Batter:

Pour the cinnamon bread batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

6. Swirling with Cinnamon:

To create a beautiful cinnamon swirl, sprinkle additional ground cinnamon over the batter. Use a butter knife or a toothpick to gently swirl the cinnamon into the batter.

7. Baking to Perfection:

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake the Cinnamon Bread for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Cooling and Serving:

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
