Pâine cu scorțișoară și vârtej
Ingrediente
- 2 cupe Făină auto-crescătoare - (nota 1)
- ¾ ceaşcă Zahăr din trestie nerafinat - (nota 2)
- 1 ceaşcă Lapte de migdale - (nota 3)
- ¼ ceaşcă Iaurt grecesc fără lactate - (nota 4)
- ⅓ ceaşcă Ulei de măsline cu aromă blândă - (nota 5)
- 2 lingurițe Extract de vanilie
- ½ linguriță Sare
Scorțișoară de zahăr
- ⅓ ceaşcă Zahăr din trestie nerafinat
- 2 lingurițe Scorţişoară
Instrucțiuni
- Preîncălziți cuptorul la 180°C (350°F). Tapetați o tavă de chec de 9 cm x 5 cm cu hârtie de copt. Ungeți hârtia și marginile tăvii cu spray de ulei de gătit. Dați deoparte.
- In a small bowl, prepare the cinnamon sugar: stir the sugar and cinnamon until well combined using a fork. Halve this batch, and place each half in a small bowl for the layers. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add sugar, almond milk, yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
- Fold in the self-rising flour and use a rubber spatula to combine and form a smooth batter. Divide the batter in halves.
- Place the first half of the batter in the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar made before on top of this batter. You want to evenly cover the batter with the cinnamon sugar.
- Add the remaining batter and finish by evenly sprinkling the remaining cinnamon sugar on top of the bread.
- Grab a thin skewer and insert it vertically into one end of the loaf pan all the way to the bottom of the loaf pan. Swirl in an S shape until reaching the other end of the pan. Swirl again in the other direction – it should look like you are forming number 8 shapes in the batter. Don't over-swirl. One go in both directions is enough. Remove the skewer from the pan.
- Bake the bread for 50-55 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until a pick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. After 40 minutes, I recommend adding a piece of foil on top of the pan to prevent the bread from darkening too fast.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 5 minutes, then pull the hanging parts of parchment paper to release on a cooling rack.
- Lăsați să se răcească cel puțin 3 ore înainte de glazurare.

Ingrediente și înlocuiri
Ai nevoie doar de câteva ingrediente sănătoase pentru această rețetă. Iată cum să le alegi.

- Făină auto-crescătoare – With its included baking powder, this flour makes the bread’s crumb fluffy and airy. You can also make your own by whisking all-purpose flour with baking powder (about 4-5 teaspoons per 2 cups). For a gluten-free option, use my convertor fără gluten, dar nu uitați de praful de copt.
- zahăr – To sweeten the batter and contribute to the tender crumb while adding some crispness on top. You can swap it for brown sugar, coconut sugar, or unrefined cane sugar if you prefer a different flavor, but steer clear of liquid sweeteners that can upset the texture. I also use it for the cinnamon sugar.
- Lapte de migdale – This brings a nutty flavor and helps with the fluffy crumb. You can use any plant-based milk like oat or soy milk.
- Iaurt grecesc fără lactate – This brings some tang, creaminess, and extra moisture to the loaf. You can use any dairy-free yogurt such as coconut or cashew yogurt while keeping the recipe dairy-free. Using a thicker yogurt is key for the right texture. If you eat dairy, classic yogurt should work as well.
- Ulei de măsline ușor – Contributes healthy fat and moisture, keeping the bread tender without the saturated fat of butter. Canola or avocado oil are good substitutes as long as they have a neutral flavor.
- Extract de vanilie – For a delicious vanilla crumb.
- Scorţişoară – For the cinnamon sugar.
How to Make Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Swirl a skewer in an S shape twice, not more.

Sfaturile de copt ale lui Carine
Permiteți-mi să vă împărtășesc câteva sfaturi pentru o pâine perfectă.
- Let the parchment paper overhang on the side to make it easier to pull the whole bread out after baking.
- Gently fold in the self-rising flour with a rubber spatula to keep the batter light and avoid overmixing, which would make a denser crumb.
- If the top of your loaf begins to darken too quickly, cover it loosely with a piece of foil after about 40 minutes of baking.
- Let the bread cool completely (about 3 hours) before slicing to maintain a moist, fluffy texture throughout.

Just a quick question. Is there anything that could be used in place of the oil?
I haven’t made this recipe oil-free, usually same amount of unsweetened applesauce work well.
