Yield: 2 large loaves
Ingredients:
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (226g)
• 2 cups granulated sugar (400g)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups buttermilk (480ml)
• 4 cups all-purpose flour (500g)
• 2 tsp baking soda
For the cinnamon sugar swirl:
• ⅔ cup granulated sugar (135g)
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
How to make it:
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the buttermilk.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined—don’t overmix for that soft, tender crumb.
In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar for the swirl.
Pour a layer of batter into each pan, sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar, then repeat layers, finishing with cinnamon sugar on top.
Use a knife to gently swirl the layers for that classic bakery-style ribbon.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the Amish Cinnamon Bread cool slightly before slicing—it gets even more tender as it rests.
Slice thick and serve warm with a little butter melting on top… pure comfort in every bite 🤎
