Amish Cinnamon Bread

Chrysti Benner
This Amish cinnamon bread is similar to the Amish friendship bread you probably know and love, but without the need to care for a starter! It's a delicious bread for breakfast or dessert.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Batter:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F and grease an 8x4" loaf pan. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer), cream together butter and sugar until fluffy.
  • Add egg and vanilla, mixing well until combined.
  • In a separate liquid measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together milk and sour cream and set aside.
  • With the mixer on low speed, add 1 cup of flour and the baking soda to the butter/sugar/egg mixture, mixing until incorporated.
  • Pour the milk and sour cream mixture into the batter, mixing to combine.
  • Add the remaining 1 cup of flour to the batter, mixing just until incorporated.
  • Transfer half of the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Add about 3/4 of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter, then top with the remaining batter and remaining sugar.
  • Use a knife to swirl the batter in a back and forth motion, allowing the cinnamon sugar to swirl into the batter.
  • Bake for about 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Feel free to double the recipe so you can enjoy one loaf now and freeze a loaf for later!
  • To freeze, cool the loaf completely, then wrap it well with plastic wrap. Place in freezer. When ready to enjoy, let it thaw at room temperature.
  • Leftovers can be covered and stored at room temperature. I like to use this loaf keeper.
