Ingredients
– 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
1. – Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
2. – In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
3. – Add the softened butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until the dough comes together and is smooth.
4. – Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface to a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick.
5. – Spread the prepared custard evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
6. – Carefully roll the dough up into a tight log, starting from the short end.
7. – Place the rolled dough seam-side down in the prepared loaf pan.
8. – Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. – Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. – Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Notes
– For a richer custard flavor, use a higher-quality vanilla custard or pastry cream.
– Brush the top of the baked bread with melted butter or a simple glaze for extra shine and flavor.
– Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
