Amish Cinnamon Bread

Ingredients:

INGREDIENTS	AMOUNT
For the Batter:
Butter, softened	1 cup
Sugar	2 cups
Eggs	2
Buttermilk (or 2 cups milk + 2 tbsp vinegar/lemon juice)	2 cups
All-purpose flour	4 cups
Baking soda	2 teaspoons
Cinnamon/Sugar Mixture:
Sugar	2/3 cup
Cinnamon	2 teaspoons

How To Make Amish Cinnamon Bread:

Step 1: Prep Oven and Pans: Preheat your oven to 350F (175C). Grease two standard loaf pans thoroughly.

Step 2: Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup softened butter, 2 cups sugar, and 2 eggs until smooth. Stir in the 2 cups buttermilk, 4 cups flour, and 2 tsp baking soda. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 3: Prepare the Topping: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the 2/3 cup sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon until well blended.

Step 4: Layer the Pans: Divide about half of the batter (or slightly less) between the two prepared loaf pans (approximately 1/4 of the total batter in each pan). Sprinkle 3/4 of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter in both pans.

Step 5: Swirl and Top: Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer in each pan. Sprinkle the very last of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the tops. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the layers together in a figure-eight motion.

Step 6: Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pans for 20 minutes before removing them. This helps the bread set so it doesn’t crumble when sliced.
