Amish Cinnamon Bread is a sweet and delicious bread that’s perfect for breakfast or as a snack. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
For the bread:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 cups buttermilk
For the cinnamon-sugar topping:
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans and set them aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until well combined.
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping.
- Pour half of the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter in each pan.
- Pour the remaining batter evenly over the cinnamon-sugar mixture in each pan. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove the loaves from the pans and transfer them to wire racks to cool completely before slicing.
