Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended in your baking instructions.
- Gather all your ingredients and tools to create a smooth workflow.
Make the batter
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly distributed.
- In another bowl, crack the egg and whisk it lightly. Add the milk, melted butter, and sourdough discard, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Prepare the swirl filling
- In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix until even.
Assemble the bread
- In a greased baking dish or loaf pan, pour half of the batter and spread it out evenly.
- Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the first layer of batter.
- Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon filling and spread it out again.
- Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on top of the batter.
Baking
- Place your baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake until golden brown and bread pulls slightly from the edges.
Notes
Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing. Store in an airtight container to keep fresh longer.
