How to make it
In a small bowl mix together the cinnamon, brown sugar and butter, this will be used as the swirl.
In a large bowl beat together the sour milk, melted butter, eggs and vanilla. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined, the batter will be a little lumpy. Do not over mix as this will cause a tough heavy bread.
Spoon half the batter into the prepared loaf pan, top with half the cinnamon mixture and swirl with the tip of a knife, top with the remaining batter and remaining cinnamon mixture. Swirl again and bake in the pre-heated oven. Let cool before serving.
Is Cinnamon good for you?
Apparently it is, cinnamon can help lower blood sugar levels, reduce heart disease risk factors and more. Not only does it taste good it’s good for you too. Of course like anything it should be eaten in the correct amounts.
How to make sour milk
In a one cup measurement add 1 tablespoon of either lemon juice or white vinegar, then top with milk to reach 1 cup. Let sit for about 10 minutes before using.
Why use room temperature ingredients?
Room temperature ingredients trap air which causes them to expand in the oven, for this reason they will help produce a light and soft textured bake. They also bind together much better when mixing, which will produce a smooth silky batter.
How to store it
The Cinnamon Bread should be stored in an airtight container or bag, it will keep at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it, either in individual slices or a whole loaf wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer safe bag or container. It can be frozen for up to 1 month.
