It is said, that the word snickerdoodle is a misinterpretation of the German word “Schneckennudel”, meaning snail dumpling, referring to the snail-like shape of the original biscuits.

What do you need to make Snickerdoodle Bread:

How do you store Snickerdoodle Bread?

Snickerdoodle Bread stores well at room temperature for up to three days in a sealed plastic bag.

HOW TO FREEZE it:

• Snickerdoodle Bread can be frozen in heavy foil or freezer bags for up to three months.
• For either method, allow the bread to cool completely before adding to bags or wrapping it into the foil.

REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS:

To reheat the bread, wrap slices in heavy foil and place it in the oven for 12-15 minutes at 300F. Additionally, do not thaw the slices before reheating.

Recipe tips and notes:

• I like baking this bread into a loaf-pan. Also, I prefer the non-stick loaf version. If you are looking to make a larger loaf, then you can use a bigger dish to bake it. 
• I made this bread the traditional way topped with cinnamon and did not fill it with chocolate or cinnamon chips. You can easily make it with cinnamon chips, or chocolate chips by simply adding the chips to the batter.
• For a healthier version, you can substitute the sour cream for greek vanilla yogurt.

Author: Catalina Castravet Serves: 10 slices
Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 45 minutes Total time: 55 mins

Ingredients

• 2 cups  all purpose flour 
• 1 teaspoon  baking powder 
• 1 teaspoon  baking soda 
• 1 teaspoon  cream of tartar 
• 1 teaspoon  ground cinnamon 
• 1/2 teaspoon  salt 
• 1/2 cup  unsalted butter  (softened to room temperature)
• 1/2 cup  white sugar 
• 1/2 cup  brown sugar 
• 2  large eggs  (room temperature)
• 1/2 cup  milk  (room temperature)
• 1/2 cup  sour cream  (room temperature)
• 1 teaspoon  vanilla extract 

Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

• 1/4 cup  unsalted butter  (melted)
• 3 tablespoons  cinnamon sugar 

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick baking spray (I like the one with flour) and set aside.
3. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon and salt. Stir and set aside.
4. Add butter and both sugars to a large bowl and beat until light and creamy. Stop to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula.
5. Add egg, sour cream, vanilla and milk. Beat until fully combined and smooth. Stop to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula.
6. Add the flour mix gradually into the egg and milk mixture, avoid over-mixing the batter.
7. Once the flour mixture has been fully incorporated, transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
8. Brush the bread with melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top.
9. Bake the bread for 45-50 minutes. It varies based on the oven, but start checking on it after 40 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with just a few crumbs, but NOT raw batter.
10. Remove bread from oven when ready and place loaf pan on a cooling rack.
11. If desired, brush bread again with melted butter and sprinkle with extra cinnamon sugar if desired. This should be done while the bread is still warm.
12. Cool bread in the pan for 10 minutes before removing and transferring to the cooling rack.
13. Serve warm or at room temperature.
