Delicious Amish Cinnamon Bread Recipe: Bakery-Style Goodness at Home

 • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 

• 2 large eggs 

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture: 

• 1/3 cup granulated sugar 

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon 

For Topping (Optional but Recommended): 

• 2 tablespoons melted butter 

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar 

Step-by-Step Instructions 

Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Pan and Preheat the Oven 

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 

• Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, and lightly dust it with flour. This prevents sticking and ensures easy removal after baking. 

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients 

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. 

• This step ensures even distribution of ingredients, preventing clumps in the batter. 

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients 

• In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. 

• Stir until well combined and smooth. The buttermilk helps keep the bread soft and gives it a rich texture. 

Step 4: Combine the Wet and Dry Mixtures 

• Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. 

• Gently fold everything together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix, or your bread may become dense. 

Step 5: Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Swirl 

• In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. 

• This will create the sweet and aromatic swirl inside the bread.

 Step 6: Layer the Batter and Cinnamon-Sugar 

• Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. 

• Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter. 

• Add the remaining batter on top, followed by the rest of the cinnamon-sugar. 

• Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter. This creates the beautiful marbled effect inside the bread. 

Step 7: Add the Crunchy Topping (Optional but Delicious!) 

• Mix 2 tablespoons melted butter with 2 tablespoons brown sugar and drizzle it over the top of the batter. 

• This creates a slightly crunchy, caramelized topping that enhances the flavor. 

Step 8: Bake the Bread 

• Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. 

• Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, it’s ready. 

Step 9: Cool and Serve 

• Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. 

• Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature!
