Instructions: How to Make Amish Cinnamon Bread
-
Prepare Your Oven and Pans
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two standard loaf pans thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray to ensure your bread comes out easily after baking. -
Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 2 cups of sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy—this usually takes about 3-4 minutes.Next, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate them into the batter.
-
Add the Wet and Dry Ingredients
Slowly pour in the buttermilk (or your homemade version), mixing gently. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want a smooth batter but still tender bread. -
Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar
In a small bowl, combine the 2/3 cup sugar with 2 teaspoons cinnamon. This mixture will add that signature sweet and spicy swirl to your bread.
