Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 ¼ cups (306 g) whole milk
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250 g) confectioners’ sugar
- 4 to 5 tablespoons milk, or heavy cream for richer glaze
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch kosher salt, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8 ½ x 4 ½-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, kosher salt, and ground nutmeg.
- In another bowl, whisk together the whole milk, large egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended.
- Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should remain slightly runny.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs and the top is golden brown.
- Once baked, take the bread out of the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Carefully remove the bread and place it on a wire rack set over parchment paper to catch drips.
Notes
For a richer glaze, use heavy cream instead of milk.
Be careful not to overmix the batter to ensure a light texture.
Allow the glazed bread to cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
