Mixing the Batter – Same Day Method

1. Combine the softened butter, sugar, and cream in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.

2. Add the remaining wet ingredients, including the egg, vanilla extract, maple syrup, sour cream, and sourdough, and mix them together in the bowl.

3. Start the mixer on low and gradually increase the speed to medium to combine all the ingredients.

4. In another large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and baking powder.

5. Mix the dry ingredients and wet ingredients on medium-low until they are just combined.

Assembling the Loaf

1. Combine the cinnamon and granulated sugar in a small bowl to produce the cinnamon sugar swirl mixture.

2. Combine cinnamon, brown sugar, and flour in a separate bowl to make the crumb topping.

3. Pour the melted butter over the top and mix until all of the dry ingredients are coated.

4. Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan, making certain that it gets into the corners.

5. Next, put half of the cinnamon and sugar mixture on the batter and swirl it with a butter knife.

6. Repeat the prosses with the remaining batter and cinnamon sugar mixture.

7. Continue swirling in the same way as the first time, making sure to get some of the cinnamon sugar swirl mixture into the corners.

8. Top the loaf with the crumb topping evenly.

Bake The Bread
