Description

Dollywood Inspired Cinnamon Bread is a soft, buttery quick breakfast loaf layered with sweet cinnamon sugar and finished with a simple vanilla glaze. It is an easy recipe for cozy mornings, holiday brunch, breakfast ideas, sweet snack moments, and simple food ideas when you want homemade comfort with bakery-style flavor.


Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 cup milk

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 cup powdered sugar

2 to 3 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

2. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon to make the swirl filling.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

4. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.

6. Spread one-third of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle with one-third of the cinnamon sugar mixture.

7. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with the cinnamon sugar on top.

8. Use a butter knife to gently swirl through the batter a few times to create a marbled effect.

9. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

10. Cool the bread in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack.

11. Whisk the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

12. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread, then slice and serve.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and milk for a smoother batter and more even bake.

Do not overmix the batter or the loaf can turn dense instead of tender.

Let the bread cool before glazing so the drizzle stays on top instead of melting in completely.
