Sweet Bread Glaze: How to Make a Rich Topping for Homemade Sweet Bread

Prepare the Base

In a bowl, add the sifted powdered sugar.

Add Liquid

Stir in 2 tablespoons of milk or cream. Mix until smooth.

If the glaze is too thick, add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time.

Flavor It

Add vanilla extract (or almond extract) for extra depth. Stir until fully combined.

Glaze the Bread

Once your sweet bread is baked and slightly cooled, drizzle or brush the glaze over the top.

Allow it to set for 10–15 minutes until slightly firm and shiny.
