Chai-spiced Bread

"This is another recipe that I found in a Betty Crocker cookbooklet. The recipe makes a light loaf of bread with a delicious cinnamon glaze. It can be served as a snack or dessert with some fresh fruit, a wedge of cheese and a glass of iced tea (or if you prefer, a cup of hot tea). Note: water can be substituted for the chai tea."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Spray the bottom of a 9" loaf pan with cooking spray (I use Pam).
  • Combine the sugar and butter in a large bowl.
  • With a mixer, beat on medium speed until fluffy.
  • Add in eggs, tea, milk and vanilla.
  • Reduce speed on the mixer to low and mix the ingredients well (the mixture will appear to be curdled).
  • Add in the remaining bread ingredients.
  • Mix just until moistened and spread in the loaf pan.
  • Bake 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool 10 minutes on a wire rack before removing from the pan.
  • Cool 30 minutes before glazing.
  • To prepare the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla and 3 t milk in a small bowl.
  • Add additional milk in small amounts until the glaze is spreadable.
  • Spread the glaze on the bread and sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • Cool for 2 hours before slicing the bread.
  • This may be stored at room temperature tightly wrapped for 4 days.
  • This may be refrigerated for up to 10 days.

  1. used the leftover spices from a chai tea recipe http://www.food.com/recipe/starbucks-chai-tea-214056 to make 2 loafs. Used a maple bar glaze (mapleline, butter, brown sugar, powdered sugar and milk) as a spread... Great and economical dessert
     
  2. I absolutely love this bread! It tastes and smells amazing and I will definitely make it again! Thanks so much!
     
  3. Nice bread, DG! Very soft flavors, moist center with a crunchy crust. I didn't use the glaze, just butter. I had some chai latte so I used that for the tea & the milk. Smells wonderful when baking! We had it for dessert, a bedtime snack & I had more for breakfast. Thanks!
     
  4. Excellent flavor and sold 3 loaves at our church bake sale with all three ladies coming back and asking for the recipe!
     
  5. Wonderful, wonderful and genius recipe. I replaced milk with soy milk and left off the glaze, which is far too much sugar for my taste. I will make this again and again, thanks so much.
