How to Make Dutch Spice Bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 large egg until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 80-90 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing it using the parchment paper overhang and placing it on a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once completely cool, wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap and let it stand at room temperature for at least 24 hours before slicing. This allows the flavors to meld and deepen.
