This Amish Bread Recipe is so simple that it’s great for everyone from beginning bakers to experienced bakers. No one needs to know how incredibly easy it is to make though! If you’re looking for a no-fail bread recipe, this is for you!

Bakery Style Amish Cinnamon Bread

Amish Cinnamon Bread Ingredients

  • Unsalted butter, softened
  • Granulated sugar
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla extract
  • Buttermilk
  • Flour
  • Baking soda
  • Ground cinnamon
Amish Bread Ingredients

Amish Bread doesn’t require yeast or any kind of bread stater. This simple cinnamon quick bread makes two loaves; one to keep, and one to give.

Amish Bread Ingredients

How to Make Amish Bread

In a bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment (or a mixing bowl with a mixing spoon), beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract.

How to Make Amish Bread

Add the flour, buttermilk, and baking soda to the mixture. Now you’re going to layer the dough mixture between 2 bread loaf pans. Pour 1/4 of the batter into 2 bread pans. 

How to Make Amish Bread

Mix the sugar with the cinnamon. Sprinkle half of the mixture on top of the batter in the bread pans. Divide the remaining batter between the two bread pans. Finally, top each pan with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture. Use a toothpick or knife to create swirls on the top. 

How to Make Amish Bread

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center. Allow the bread to rest on a cooling sheet in the bread pans for about 20 minutes. The hardest part will be waiting for the bread to cool before digging in and topping with butter!

    I made the Amish Cinnamon bread today,I baked it at 160 for a fan oven and it baked perfect ,it only took 1 hour to bake,my own opinion is it is more of a cake than a bread but every country has different ways in explaining there bakes never the less I would highly recommend to bake it. The texture is very light and is not over powered by cinnamon and not too sweet. At first I thought it was a lot of sugar and it could be over sweet but this was not the case,I did use 1teaspoon of sweet ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of plain ground cinnamon works just perfect,my flour was all purpose (plain flour) because you have the rising agent of bicarbonate of soda (baking Soda) as described, loved the bake and will make it many times in the future thankyou for sharing, happy bakes to all.

      In the US it’s what we call a “quick” bread. More of a cake consistency, but baked in a loaf pan and served sliced like bread, often with butter.

        I made these today! Used half the batter for a bread and the other half for muffins. It took 18 min for the muffins in a 350F oven. Other adjustments: added 1 more egg to the batter and 1 tsp cinnamon to the flour / baking soda mixture. Turned out great!

        • Thank you for the tips on baking the muffins... I was going to make several small loaves of the bread, but muffins will share more easily.

    Assuming this is plain flour, not self-rising.
    I’m just don’t trust myself when it comes to bread.
    But I can’t wait to try this.
    Thanks,

          Carol, Lemon juice works as well as vinegar does to change milk into buttermilk.

    Kelly,
    Sounds delicious! Two questions: what size pans 8 x 4 or 9 x 5; narrative says melted butter and recipe says softened butter, which is best to do?

    • Kelly

      January 28, 2022 at 8:34 pm

      Ah! Thanks for noticing and letting me know. It should be *softened* butter (sorry about my typo!). Also, I use an 8×4 pan. Of course, a larger pan will work too, but the cooking time might need to be adjusted a little:)

    I was excited to try this recipe since I love all things cinnamon! I used salted butter and 1/2 bread flour, 1/2 all-purpose flour and it turned out perfectly! The taste and texture are perfect. I made one full loaf and 3 mini loaves for freezing/gifting. Next time I make this I will follow the recipe exactly & use unsalted butter and only all-purpose flour. This is such a nice, simple recipe and great for gifting. Happy baking!

    Made this today. Followed all the directions to a “T”. I’m 67 years old and grew up on my Grandmother’s & mother’s apron strings. Used to bake all of our own bread. This was delicious, but the bread broke completely apart when cutting. What am I doing wrong.

      Baking soda is correct. It is the rising agent. 2 teaspoons won’t impact the taste or make it taste like baking soda.

    How finicky is this when adding the flour, buttermilk, and baking soda? Do you add all the flour first, then buttermilk, then baking soda? That seems like it would get real thick and clumpy and then adding the buttermilk to smooth it out would over work the dough? Or do you alternate some flour, some buttermilk? I’m all for easy so the baking soda will just get mixed into the flour befor adding.

    While bored as heck after a hip replacement and hungry, too, a friend of mine posted this recipe thinking; “she could do this”. Oh my! So easy. So yummy. And I could put it together while leaning on a crutch. (Funny) My husband came home from work and ate half of one loaf and he doesn’t even like bread. HIGHLY recommend.

      Hi Meg,
      It should work for standard-size loaf pans, but keep your eye on it and use the “toothpick test” to ensure you don’t over or undercook the bread:)

    I made this last night. The loaves turned out perfectly, crusty on the outside and soft on the inside (a tiny bit crumbly towards the top). I’ll try a little bit more cinnamon next time and some chopped walnuts.
