Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnamon Bread
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and softened butter until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon swirl mixture on top of the first layer of batter.
- Spoon the remaining batter on top of the cinnamon swirl layer and smooth it out.
- Using a knife, gently swirl through the top layer of batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Gentle mixing and slightly warming the milk can improve texture. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
