Ingredients

For the batter

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar for batter
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup sourdough discard

For the swirl filling

  • 1 tbsp cinnamon for swirl filling
  • 1 cup brown sugar for swirl filling

Method

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the swirl filling ingredients: brown sugar and cinnamon, then set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining brown sugar.
  • In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients: egg, milk, melted butter, and sourdough discard until smooth.
  • Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Baking

  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle three-fourths of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
  • Add the remaining batter on top and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Use a knife to gently swirl through the batter for a marbled effect.
  • Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. Don’t worry if the batter looks a bit lumpy; overmixing can make the bread tough. Feel free to add nuts or raisins to the batter for extra texture.
