AMISH CINNAMON BREAD (FRIENDSHIP BREAD)



Amish Cinnamon Bread (Friendship Bread) image

Amish Friendship Bread is a great bread for those special occasions. When you've made your bread, you can give your friends a sample and the starter that came from the original batter that helped to make the sample bread! Then your friends can make their own and pass it along to their friends. This is why the bread is called "friendship bread". It's time consuming, but it's worth it. Amish Friendship Bread is a starter bread. If you know someone with a starter, you are in luck. For those of you without access to a starter, I have placed the directions for the starter in step one. When passing the recipe on, be sure they realize that part of step one is not day one for them. Or you may want to eliminate the part of step one that does not pertain to them when passing on your starters.

Time P10DT1h

Yield 2 loaves, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups milk
3 cups sugar
4 cups flour
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 (6 ounce) box vanilla instant pudding mix
1/2 cup nuts (optional)
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Steps:

  • Day One: For those making the starter from scratch: combine 1 cup milk, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup flour in a large zip lock bag and mush to mix ingredients. For those receiving the fermented batter in a gallon zip lock bag: Do nothing. Leave it to sit on the counter.
  • On days 2-4: Squeeze the bag several times during the day. (If air builds up in the bag, open the zip lock slightly and remove the air). I took mine to work, laid it on my desk, and to relieve stress squeezed the bag several times during the day. Ha ha ha!
  • On day 5: add 1 cup milk, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup self-rising flour to the bag. Squeeze the bag several times during the day.
  • On days 6-8: Squeeze the bag several times during the day.(remove air).
  • On day 9: Add 1 cup milk, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup self-rising flour into the bag. Close zip lock. Squeeze the bag several times during the day.
  • Day 10: Pour 1/2 cup "starter" in four (4) separate gallon zip lock bags. These starters replace the milk, flour, and sugar used to start the very first batch from scratch. Give the four bags to friends along with the steps on how to finish making their own starters and bread, or freeze the starters for future use if desired, just be sure that once you take a starter out of the freezer, you let it sit out one day before starting your steps.
  • In a large glass bowl add 2 cups self-rising flour, 1 cup of sugar, 3 eggs, 1 cup oil, 2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 cup milk, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 large box (or 2 small boxes) of instant vanilla pudding, 1/2 cup of either raisins, nuts, chocolate chips or fruit (optional) or 1/4 cup of any two of these ingredients; mix well.
  • Spray well 2 large loaf pans with cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl or cup, mix 1 tsp cinnamon and 2 tbsp sugar. Sprinkle about 1/2 to 2/3 in loaf pans, reserving about 1/3 to 1/2 of the mix.
  • Pour batter into pans.
  • Sprinkle remaining cinnamon and sugar mix across the tops of the batter.(You may choose to sprinkle the remaining mix after baking the bread).
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.
  • IMPORTANT NOTES:.
  • You may also make small loaves. If you do, bake at the same temperature, but for 25-30 minutes.
  • Do not use metal spoon or metal bowl for mixing.
  • Do not refrigerate at any time during the process. Keep on the counter.
  • If air builds up in the zip lock. Open the zipper slightly and squeeze the air out, being careful not to let any of the batter out. Quickly reseal.
  • It is normal for the batter to thicken and bubble during the time it sits on the counter. This is called the fermentation process.
  • You may replace the nuts or the raisins with chocolate chips or dried fruit (or fresh, not canned or frozen). Or you can eliminate them and just leave it plain. It's great any way you slice it. ;0).
  • Also, the bread will yield more than four serving. If you do the two large loafs, it will yield how ever large a slice you want it to be. So if sliced about the size of a normal slice of bread, one loaf could yield about 16-18 slices. The serving size listed came off the paper I got with the recipe. I'm not sure why they say four servings. Each of four servings would be 1/2 a loaf.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Make sure the water is not too hot (around 110°F) to prevent killing the yeast. Let the yeast mixture rest for the specified time to allow it to become foamy and active.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will yield the best results. Use real butter, not margarine, for a richer flavor.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough helps to develop gluten, which gives the bread its structure. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: A warm place will help the dough to rise quickly and evenly. You can place the dough in a warm oven with the light on, or in a sunny spot.
  • Don't over-proof the dough: Over-proofing can cause the dough to become too airy and light, which can result in a less flavorful bread. Let the dough rise until it is doubled in size, but not more.
  • Bake the rolls at a high temperature: This will help to create a golden brown crust and a soft, fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

The Amish Friendship Bread Cinnamon Rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of warm, gooey cinnamon rolls that will be enjoyed by everyone.
