Cooking Tips for making the perfect loaf!

-Make sure your butter is softened, not melted. This will ensure a fluffy and light texture to your bread.

- Don't overmix your batter. It can make your bread tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.

- Swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter with a knife to ensure it's evenly distributed throughout the bread.

-Be sure to add the extra melted butter to the top batter before baking. Keeps the loaf extra moist and gives it a delicious buttery flavor.

-Highly recommend using Parchment paper to line your loaf pan. Takes away all the worry of the bread sticking to the pan. All you have to do is lift it out of the pan! So so easy!

-Halfway through the baking process, check on the bread if it’s browning too much, cover loosely with aluminum foil.

Can you freeze Amish Cinnamon Bread?

Absolutely! Wrap the loaf in plastic wrap then with aluminum foil and place it in a freezer ziplock bag. It will freeze well for up to two months. Thaw and heat in the microwave or oven.
