Ingredients:
Bread Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup of canola oil
- 1/4 cup of softened unsalted butter
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of molasses
Coating Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
(Note: You can easily create a buttermilk substitute by combining 1/2 cup of whole milk with 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar.)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a loaf pan with baking spray and set it aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the canola oil, softened butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
- Add the eggs and pure vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until you achieve a smooth batter.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and salt) and buttermilk into the batter, stirring until it forms a lump-free mixture. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
- Now, take 1/2 cup of the batter and transfer it to a smaller bowl. Set this aside.
- To the reserved batter, add ground cinnamon and molasses. Stir until these delightful flavors are well incorporated.
- Begin assembling your sweet bread by placing half of the plain bread batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing it out to form an even layer.
- Spoon half of the cinnamon and molasses batter on top of the plain bread batter.
- Add the remaining plain bread batter on top of the cinnamon layer.
- Finish by spooning the remaining cinnamon and molasses batter on top of the plain bread batter.
- Using a butter knife or toothpick, gently swirl the two batters together to create a marbled effect.
- Bake in your preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for 45-50 minutes, or until the sweet bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the sweet bread cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes to set.
- Carefully loosen the edges and sides of the loaf from the pan using a spatula.
- Remove the sweet bread from the pan and allow it to cool further.
Coating:
- While the sweet bread is cooling, prepare the delicious coating. In a large shallow dish, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, packed brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
- Dip each side of the sweet bread into the melted butter mixture until it’s fully coated. Don’t forget to spoon some of the mixture onto the edges for extra flavor.
- Carefully remove the bread from the coating mixture and place it back onto a clean surface.
- Sprinkle the remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture generously on top of the sweet bread, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Conclusion:
You’ve now created a tantalizing Cinnamon Sugar Donut Sweet Bread that combines the essence of beloved donuts with the comforting charm of sweet bread. This delightful treat is sure to become a favorite among family and friends, perfect for any occasion.
