Step-by-Step Guide to Making Amish Cinnamon Bread
Preparation Phase: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two loaf pans with butter or non-stick spray, setting the stage for a seamless baking experience.
Mixing the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking soda. Add the softened butter, eggs, and buttermilk to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined, creating a smooth batter.
Creating the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the cinnamon sugar mixture. This blend will add a spicy sweetness to the bread, enhancing its flavor profile.
Layering the Batter and Cinnamon Sugar:
Pour half of the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter. Add the remaining batter on top and finish with the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon sugar through the batter, creating a marbled effect.
Baking the Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The perfect baking time is crucial for that golden-brown crust and moist interior.
Cooling and Serving: Allow the bread to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. This patience ensures that the bread settles well and enhances its flavors.
