Amish Cinnamon Bread Recipe
The Amish Cinnamon Bread Recipe is soft, sweet and full of cozy cinnamon flavor. It tastes just like something from a country bakery — buttery, moist and perfect with a cup of coffee.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk or milk + 1 tsp vinegar
- 1 egg
- ½ cup softened butter
- ⅓ cup sugar for topping
- 1 tsp cinnamon for topping
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or spray.
Make the Batter
- In a large bowl, mix butter, sugar, and egg until creamy. Add buttermilk, flour, and baking soda. Mix until smooth.
Make the Cinnamon Sugar
- In a small bowl, mix ⅓ cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon.
Layer the Batter
- Pour half the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle half the cinnamon sugar mix. Add the rest of the batter, then top with remaining cinnamon sugar.
Swirl It
- Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter.
Bake the Bread
- Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
- Let it cool for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter for a soft texture.
- Use room-temperature butter and egg.
- Add chopped nuts for extra crunch.
- Wrap and store in foil to keep it moist.
- You can double the recipe and freeze one loaf.
