I just made it today and it smells ❤❤❤ I did mix sugars and added 1/4tsp cardamom. Can’t wait for the 1 to cool passes!
3 cups of sugar ? and you wonder why so many Americans are 1/2 ton people ????????
The Amish do not use vegetable oil. Nobody used vegetable oil more than a 100 years ago. Give a butter recipe.
Cinnamon cake
What about the starter? This recipe is way too sweet. Nothing like Amish bread.
I made this in my World of Food class recently ❤️
Oh I can wait to make the friendship bread
I can't wait to make this! You guys rock, I love watching Cooks County!
You don’t use a starter in this recipe?
Hi, I love anything to do with cinnamon. I plan on making this bread. Is there a homemade cinnamon pop tart recipe?
I made this vegan by swapping the eggs for flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flax: 2.5 tbsp water), and soy milk with a little spoonful vegan yogurt as a substitute for the whole milk. It turned out absolutely delicious!
If you wanted to add bananas what adjustments would you make?
Love this Bread have a similar recipe but the cinnamon sugar on pan oh wow! Thank you.
I love you ladies. You are my two FAVORITES. Especially when you cook together..very professional, very nice and very funny.
Would love to try making French toast with it
I made this the other weekend, and my friends are still raving about it. So good!
I always wanted Julia to be my mom when I would watch ATK on PBS as a kid. She seems like she'd be a cool mom.
"It's right on that line between cake and bread"… this is 100% a cake imho
sigh I don't know why I make anything from ATK. It rarely turns out and I am very careful to follow the directions exactly. This overflowed the pans, never set properly (fell in the middle) and the outside was done but the inside was raw. I made their 'ultimate banana bread' a week or so ago with the same pans and it came out perfect. This one just sucks, and was sooooo disappointing for all the effort.
Tried. Easy and quick to make and delicious!
Where is the starter?
I never saw you put any starter in the batter.
Love not using the boxed pudding! TFS
Okay, I might get in trouble for this question and comment: do many Amish suffer from diabetes?
Got diabetus watching this
The bread looks delicious and I will most likely bake some up.
But, it isn't Amish Friendship Bread. I used to make it frequently back in the 80's. It requires a fermented starter mix (can take up to a month of fermation depending on the recipe). You would keep one cup of the starter for yourself to make your bread and pass one cup to friends along your favorite friendship bread recipe. They would add the same starter ingredients to your starter and allow their batch to ferment – and on and on. Never saw one calling for pudding mix but cinnamon and sugar were musts.
It wasn't unlike the pandemic sour dough starter sharing some of my friends were doing last summer.
I make friendship bread often. I freeze my starter at different stages so I always have something going on. You can also change the flavor of the pudding to change it up a bit.

My Mom so loved watching you two lovely ladies.
She was 93 and passed away two weeks ago.
She and I would talk about the show all the time.
I miss her terribly and will be watching you ladies.
Continuing my conversation with My Mom. I know she is listening from Heaven.
Yum. Easy Peasy…
