Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Batter
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
Topping (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg or cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the bread evenly.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk them together thoroughly to blend.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in 1 cup whole milk, the 2 lightly beaten large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix everything until you get a smooth batter.
- Prepare the crust: Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish, making sure it fits snugly and the edges are properly shaped.
- Fill the crust: Pour the smooth batter mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Add optional topping: Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg or cinnamon evenly over the top if you desire a warm spice aroma and flavor.
- Bake the bread: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the batter has set and the top is lightly golden.
- Cool and serve: Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade white bread warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can use either a store-bought or homemade pie crust depending on your preference and time.
- If you prefer a stronger spice flavor, increase the nutmeg or cinnamon topping slightly.
- Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, your bread is ready.
- Store leftovers wrapped tightly in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This bread has a slightly sweet flavor, making it suitable as a breakfast or dessert bread.
