Common Questions About Amish Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Can I Use Bread Flour Instead of All-Purpose and Cake Flour?

Yes, bread flour can be used for a chewier texture, but the combination of all-purpose and cake flour gives this sweet quick bread its signature soft, tender crumb. 

What If I Don’t Have Sour Cream?

No sour cream? No problem! Greek yogurt or homemade buttermilk (a tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice mixed with a cup of milk) are great substitutes, making sure your bread stays moist and delicious.

Can This Recipe Be Made in Muffin Tins?

Absolutely! Pouring the batter into muffin tins adjusts this yummy recipe into personal-sized treats. Just remember to shorten the baking time and check for doneness around 20-25 minutes.

Storage

I usually see this bread get devoured long before leftover status. Just in case you do have extra, here are some tips.

Refrigerator

Wrap the cooled bread in plastic wrap or keep it in an airtight container, and it will stay fresh for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

Freezer

For longer storage, wrap the bread in aluminum foil, then place it in a freezer bag. It freezes well for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature and, if you like, warm it up for a few minutes in the oven.

Tips

For me, this bread is a great treat to have for breakfast. Don’t get me wrong, though. It’s tasty any old time of the day!

• Achieve the right consistency by ensuring your wet ingredients are at room temperature to mix smoothly with the dry ingredients.
• Use a large mixing bowl to combine your dry ingredients to ensure an even distribution of the leavening agent.
• For the cinnamon swirl, mixing the cinnamon sugar mixture with a bit of melted butter in a small bowl creates a paste that swirls beautifully into the batter.
• Cooling rack is key – let your bread cool on a wire rack to prevent the bottom from becoming soggy.
• Creating the perfect swirl involves alternating spoonfuls of the remaining batter with the cinnamon mixture and using a butter knife to gently swirl them together in the prepared loaf pan.
