Sweet bread for breakfast (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Bread

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

→ Spiced Sugar Coating

09 - ¼ cup melted unsalted butter (half a stick)
10 - ½ cup granulated sugar
11 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 - ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

# Instructions:

01 - Heat your oven to 350°F and give an 8½ x 4½-inch loaf pan a good spray with nonstick cooking spray.
02 - In a big bowl, whisk together your flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
03 - In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until everything is smoothly incorporated.
04 - Pour your wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently just until combined. Don't worry if it looks a bit runny - that's perfect!
05 - Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, making sure it's evenly spread, and bake for 60-70 minutes. You'll know it's done when a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs and the top has a beautiful golden brown color.
06 - Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a piece of parchment paper.
07 - While the bread is still warm, brush melted butter all over the surface - don't miss a spot!
08 - Mix the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl, then generously sprinkle this magical mixture over your buttered bread. Rotate to coat all sides (and save any leftover for another day).

# Notes:

01 - This bread combines the best of quick bread with the sweet joy of a sugar donut!
02 - Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or anytime you need a sweet homemade treat.
03 - The moist, tender crumb practically melts in your mouth.
