Christina Tosi’s Cinnamon-Bun Quick Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- baking spray
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with baking spray.
- To prepare filling: In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients.
- To prepare dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together milk and egg. Use a wooden spoon to stir egg mixture into dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in butter. Finish off mixing with your hands, pinching and squeezing to form a dough.
- Lightly dust a work surface and rolling pin with flour. Roll dough into a 15-by-9-inch rectangle. Spread filling evenly over dough, leaving a ½-inch border at each edge. Starting at short end, roll dough up tightly; place in prepared pan, seam side down. Bake 50–55 minutes or until top is a deep golden brown and filling bubbles up around edges. Transfer to a wire rack; cool completely in pan.
- To prepare frosting: In a medium bowl, use a wooden spoon to mix cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar. Add vanilla and salt; stir with a whisk 2 minutes or until fluffy and white.
- Turn cooled loaf out of pan; place on a serving plate. Frost. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 week.
