In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, instant yeast, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Heat the water until warm (about 110°F or 43°C) and add it to the wet ingredients, stirring to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients slowly, mixing with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Grease a large bowl with a small amount of butter or cooking spray and place the kneaded dough inside. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Gently punch down the dough to release the air, then transfer it back to the floured surface and shape it into a loaf.
Place the shaped loaf into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan, cover again with the towel, and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Once risen, place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
