The process:
Preparation: Preheat the oven and prepare the loaf pan by greasing and flouring it. This ensures that the bread does not stick to the mold.
Mixing: Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, then add wet ingredients. Using an electric mixer, beat the dough for a few minutes until smooth and well combined. This step ensures even distribution of ingredients and a uniform texture.
Pouring: Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, using an offset spatula to smooth the top. This helps the bread bake evenly and prevents lumps or bumps from forming on the surface.
Swirl: Prepare the cinnamon mixture and gently sprinkle it over the dough in the loaf pan. Use a knife to create a marbled effect by swirling the mixture into the dough. This step not only adds visual appeal but also ensures that every bite is packed with cinnamon flavor.
Baking: Place the pan in the oven and bake until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 50 minutes, but be aware as oven temperatures can vary.
Tips for success:
Room Temperature Ingredients: For best results, make sure the eggs and buttermilk are at room temperature before adding them to the batter. This helps everything blend together perfectly.
Don’t overmix – mix the dough until just combined. Overmixing can result in hard, dense bread.
Proper Cooling: Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents the bread from getting soggy.
Storage: Once cooled, store the cinnamon bread in an airtight container or wrap tightly in plastic wrap to maintain freshness.
