Recipe Introduction

Marbled the cinnamon-nut streusel throughout the batter so there's luscious crunch in every bite of bread.

List of Ingredients

CINNAMON-SWIRL BREAD



1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/3 cup cooking oil




Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup of the sugar, the nuts, and cinnamon; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup sugar, the flour, baking powder, and alt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside.

2. In a bowl, beat egg with a fork; stir in milk and oil. Add egg mixture to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy).

3. Pour half of the batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon mixture. Repeat with remaining batter and cinnamon mixture. Draw a wide rubber scraper down through batter and up in a circular motion to marble. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

4. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Wrap and store bread overnight before slicing. Makes 1 loaf (14 servings).
