Creating the Batter
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- In a separate bowl, beat together granulated sugar and eggs until creamy. Add buttermilk, vegetable oil, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are acceptable.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
Topping it Off
- In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping.
- Drizzle melted unsalted butter over the batter. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly, creating a design if desired.
Baking Perfection
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cooling and Serving
- Once baked, let the cinnamon bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the cinnamon bread as desired—enjoy it plain or toasted with butter.
