Amish Cinnamon Bread


Super easy sweet bread. This no kneading, just mix it up and bake it bread. Makes a wonderful dessert or even quick breakfast.
Makes 2 loaves

Batter:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 cups butter milk
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda

Cinnamon sugar mixture:
2/3 cups sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Grease two 9x5 loaf pans. Set aside until needed.
Cream together butter, 2 cups sugar, and eggs. Add milk, flour, and baking soda. Mix well.
Put 1/4 of batter in each greased loaf pan.
Mix in separate bow the 2/3 cup sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle 3/4 of the cinnamon mixture on top of the batter in each pan. Add remaining batter to pans; sprinkle the remaining cinnamon topping. Swirl with a knife. Bake at 350 degrees in a preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until toothpick tester comes clean.

Cool in pan for 20 minutes before removing from pan.

Excellent if eaten warm out of the oven but great toasted with a little butter or cinnamon butter.

Enjoy!!

  1. Quick question, I really want to make this bread in the morning but am out of buttermilk, is there a way to make buttermilk or do I need to wait until I have some?
    Thanks, Lorrie

    1. Sure there is, two cups of milk and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Let sit atleast 10 minutes, then you can use just as you would buttermilk.

    1. Thank you! I hope that I can continue to help you and many others on our canning and cooking journeys.

      To tackle the "cauliflower" question. The reason why you don't find any recipes for it is because it breaks down to much. I however did find several recipes for cauliflower soups that you can indeed can but you have to leave out all the thickening agents. It would probably look gawd awful in the jars but if done right could taste pretty darn good after adding the thickening agents at the of heating it up. I googled "canning cauliflower".

      Here is one if your intersted http://www.ehow.com/how_8283207_can-cauliflower-soup.html

      Just holler if ya need any more help with it.

    3. I can't hardly keep the bean soup on the shelf here. My daughter would eat a quart a day if I would let her. You will love the bread everyone I shared it wanted the recipe.

  4. Just wondering if you think using Turbinado sugar in the swirl would work. I was thinking it might give it a little cruchy bite. Can't wait to try this either way!

  5. Would this bread keep for a few days wrapped in Saran Wrap in the fridge?

    1. I'm so sorry this is late. I have no doubt that wrapping it up will keep it just fine in the fridge. You can also do the same and freeze. Yummy treat later this fall with zero work.

  6. I'm making it right now. I'm excited because my girls love this bread and buying it gets kind of expensive when you eat it every morning with everything. Thank you so much for sharing.

  7. I missed the bean soup recipe. Is there a place that I can search and get it or will you have to re-post it? From a post of one lady, it must be a great soup and we really like it in the winter time or anytime really.
    Thank you in advance so much for your help.

    1. I'm sorry I was not home to answer your questions. I hope you didn't run to the store. I used margarine the last time I made this and it turned out just fine. Hope yours turned out well too.

  12. I want to try the Amish Cinammon Bread. Can you use self-rising flour and leave out the soda, or do I need to get plain flour?

    1. I'm not sure. I would think so since you can use it interchangeably in other recipes. If you do use it please let us know.
