Step-by-Step Method to Make Amish Cinnamon Bread
Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This will ensure the bread has a tender crumb and rises evenly.
Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. You can use a hand mixer or a stand mixer for this step.
