Do you have that time of day where it’s just your time, no interruptions with nothing else going on?? For me it’s morning, either right after the kids goes to school, or, if I am up before them before they get up in the morning. My favorite thing to do is sit on my deck. I love to sit and reflect on what is going on that day, things going on in general, and life. Typically, I try to eat my breakfast during this time. As a mom, multitasking is a must — even, sadly, during our quiet time.
I generally don’t mind multitasking as long as my breakfast is one of my favorites, like Amish Friendship Bread. It always reminds me of my mom since it’s one of the loaf breads she is known for making. And I can’t forget the favorite part: a perfect drink to go with it. A TAZO® Chai Latte K-Cup® pods are one of my favorites, especially on a cooler morning like our early summer mornings. Plus you can also order this on Amazon as well, the perfect way to get yoru day started off right!

Amish Friendship Bread Ingredients
Bread Batter:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups buttermilk (or 2 cups milk plus 2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice)
- 4 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
Cinnamon/Sugar Mixture:
- 2/3 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Amish Friendship Bread Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease two loaf pans. I always use Pyrex glass pans for my bread baking!! Over the years I keep trying metal pans but I just don’t get the same results as cooking with glass! Plus you can see the cinnamon swirls through the glass, Isabella says thats her favorite part of baking wiht them!

In a mixer, cream together butter, 2 cups of sugar, and eggs. Add milk, flour, and baking soda.
Put 1/4 of the batter (or a little less) into each of the greased loaf pans.
In a separate bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon.
Sprinkle 3/4 of the cinnamon/sugar mixture on top of the batter in each pan.
Pour the remaining batter evenly in the bread pans.
Sprinkle both pans with the remaining cinnamon/sugar mixture.
Swirl a knife through the batter in each pan.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the toothpick tester comes out clean.
Cool in pan for 20 minutes before removing from pan.
What I love about this bread is it’s just thrown in a bowl. There’s no kneading, no yeast, and no starter kits required. Plus, you can make a loaf for you and a friend! I also love that Amish Friendship Bread pairs perfectly with a TAZO® Chai Latte K-Cup® pod.

Bread that doesn’t need yeast or special flour?! My kind of bread! 😀
Wonder if almond milk couldbe substituted. I am on a special diet due to chroniccyummy probs. Milk is a nono for nless its rice or almond mlk. I have about 8 oz of almond milk.
I have never baked with almond milk. Did you try it? Would love to know how it turned out.
Not for this recipe, but I did use almond milk for the recipe for the really simple, one bowl coconut custard pie. I also toasted the coconut a little too. I think it adds a delicious extra flavor to any recipe. I want to make this one too, not sure exactly what I’m going to do. I do t know if making buttermilk alternative works with almond milk.
Let me know if works. Think it would a good flavor
This bread is so easy to make , but should taste delicious. It would be perfect for breakfast.
I love how easy and delicious this sounds! 🙂
oh so yummy when I saw the post I did think of a recipe that is also a friendship bread. I love the recipe you shared full of taste and so much easier to fix
Jenny, Looks pretty easy and I love there is no starter required! Pinned to share!
This looks so simple and delicious, I can’t wait to try it! Pinned. 🙂
Hi Jenny, The bread and the tea sound like a winning combination!
I love friendship bread!!!
Jennifer
I love a good quick bread, and this one looks amazing!
This looks so good! I’ve been on the look out for more loaf/bread recipes, and this one looks like the kids would love it {and me!}.
Funny thing – at Starbucks. I ALWAYS have a bag of Amish Friendship bread mix on my countertop – this is great to have so that if I’ve ever in a snag and need to make some, no 10+ days of nonsense for me!
Jenny, I love quick breads like this. It looks delicious. I’ll have to make some to go with my morning coffee. I love to drink mine outside on my patio, especially this time of year!
Can this be frozen, for later use?
For “Sandy” (July 16, 2016 at 5:39am) Yes! This Amish Friendship Bread freezes very well, especially if wrapped in plastic wrap and then an outer wrap of aluminum foil. I have been making this bread in multiples for decades, freezing for up to 6 months and it always tastes just as wonderful as when fresh baked, once defrosted. It make a delicious treat to share for those spontaneous get-togethers with friends, friendly neighbor gifts, and of course those rare but special steal away moments of quiet time. I hope that you enjoy this wonderful recipe as much as I have. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this with everyone Jenny. 🙂
This sounds yummy! I had made the kind that you pass around like 6million times and it sits on your shelf for a week, scaring your husband….So this is a welcome change! Can’t wait to try it soon!
Hi Jenny, The Amish bread and the Chai Latte sound delicious! I would love to enjoy some on my deck but it’s still too hot here! Maybe in another month! Thanks for sharing the recipe! Blessings, Janet
No starter and no yeast? I’m all over this one!
Really excited to try this amazing looking bread!
Thanks
Michelle
Yummy to my tummy! Never knew I could start it from scratch. Thanks!
This brings back memories of when we lived in Maryland and would make this bread. I forgot about the recipe, thanks for the reminder!
That sounds so quick and easy, that it’d be shameful if I didn’t try it! Looks wonderful.
Mmmmm…..I love Amish bread. We just moved to a town full of Mennonites and there’s a Mennonite run bakery here where I can buy this kind bread. I’m a little bit addicted already. Love that you provided a recipe so I can give it a try on my own.
Ooooh, this is right up my alley! Pinned! Thanks for linking up at Best of the Weekend!
Your recipe for Amish Friendship Bread sounds delicious and looks easy to make. I’m going to make it this weekend. Pinned and tweeted.
Yummy it looks so delicious.and i love Amish Bread.thanks for sharing
what size loaf pans please…
It’s in my oven right now! Will eat it with my morning coffee?. I love the barter, so fluffy & smooth!
I know it doesn’t need it but was is meant by ‘ no starter required’ ?
Is it what we in UK would call ‘proving’ – leaving the mixture in a warm place to rest/rise before cooking?
Back in the day when my mom first started making this bread there was a bag of ingredients you shared with friends. You would have a list of what to add to it and then how much to separate out to give to friends, it had to set for so many days on the counter too. So much easier to just be able to whip up a batch.
Do you have that recipe for the other one the starter had this a long time ago lost it
Yes I do that to. It takes 10 days then you separate it and share it, and start over.
Which kind of flour? Self rising or all purpose
All purpose flour is what I use. I can not seem to make breads that need to rise.
How did you come up with the sugar and carb grams I am a diabetic and so is my husband those numbers sound outrageous when looking up another reciepe its only has 32.7 g of carbs and sugars 18.9 g
How many loafs does this recipe make?
Makes two of my loaf pans. It kinda varies on the type of loaf pan
I don’t have glass bread pans and would like to know if it would turn out in a glass pie pyrex dish like the Hawaiian bread they sell, cannot afford to buy glass loaf pans this time of year, how about bundt pans and they are also in metal..why do they not turn out in metal pans?
I do not cook as well in metal pans it turns out, so it’s a personal preference. I could see this working a bundt pan, if you try it let me know!
Did you use salted or unsalted butter?
I tend to always have salted butter on hand and it turns out great. I am sure you could go either way with it.
