Cinnamon Amish Bread: A Sweet Slice of Comfort

by

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Pans

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour two 9×5-inch loaf pans or line them with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Make the Bread Batter

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Stir in the buttermilk.
  4. Gradually add the flour and baking soda, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.

Step 3: Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture

In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together until evenly combined.

Step 4: Layer the Batter and Cinnamon-Sugar

  1. Pour half of the bread batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
  2. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter in each pan.
  3. Add the remaining batter on top of the cinnamon-sugar layer.
  4. Finish by sprinkling the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
  5. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter for a marbled effect.

Step 5: Bake the Bread

  1. Place the loaf pans in the preheated oven and bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow the bread to cool in the pans for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Suggestions

  • Warm and Fresh: Serve slices warm with a pat of butter or drizzle of honey.
  • Toasted: Toast a slice for breakfast and pair it with coffee or tea.
  • Dessert Style: Add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.

Tips for the Best Cinnamon Amish Bread

  1. Use Room Temperature Ingredients: This helps the batter mix more evenly for a consistent texture.
  2. Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can lead to tough bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  3. Customize the Swirl: Add chopped nuts, raisins, or even a handful of chocolate chips to the cinnamon-sugar mixture for extra flavor.
  4. Store Properly: Wrap the bread in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container to keep it moist. It stays fresh for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator.
