      Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined\u2014do not overmix<\/strong>, or the bread may become dense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step 5: Layer Batter and Caramel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      • Spoon\u00a0\u00bc cup of caramel topping<\/strong>\u00a0on top of the batter in each pan and\u00a0gently swirl<\/strong>\u00a0with a knife for a marbled effect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Divide the remaining batter evenly between the pans, spreading it over the caramel swirls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Step 6: Bake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Bake for 45\u201350 minutes<\/strong>, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each loaf comes out clean. Rotate pans halfway through baking for even browning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Step 7: Cool and Serve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Let the loaves cool completely in the pans<\/strong> for about 15 minutes, then remove and place on a wire rack to cool fully. Slice and enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
