Amish Friendship Bread Recipe
Description
This Amish Friendship Bread combines basic baking ingredients including butter, sugar, eggs, and buttermilk to create a rich and moist loaf. Baking soda provides leavening for a tender crumb. A cinnamon sugar mixture is sprinkled between layers of the batter and on top to create a sweet, spiced crust that adds texture and flavor contrast. Dividing the batter into two loaf pans allows for even baking.
The bread bakes at 350°F for 45-50 minutes until set and golden. Cooling before removing from the pans helps maintain the loaf's structure. The cinnamon sugar topping melts slightly into the bread, giving it a pleasant sweetness and spice that complements the soft interior.
This bread works well served sliced for breakfast, as a snack, or alongside coffee or tea. Adding a bit more cinnamon can enhance the spiced flavor without altering the baking process.
