Is there anything better than the honest, homemade goodness of Amish baking? I’ve gathered 10 incredible Amish bread recipes that are pure comfort, from sweet quick breads to savory dinner rolls. Grab your mixing bowl and let’s get baking.
1. Amish Friendship Bread
Seven simple ingredients, that's all you need for this gorgeous, fragrant Amish friendship bread: sugar, butter, eggs, buttermilk, flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. The prep?
Just about 10 minutes, and there's zero rise time. Honestly, it's almost cheating when it comes to homemade bread. This loaf walks a happy line between bread and dessert, and I’ll happily eat a slice for breakfast, lunch, or an after dinner treat.
2. Amish Pumpkin Bread
I love how this pumpkin bread comes together with just 15 minutes of prep and about an hour in the oven. If you want an easy beginner bread that screams fall, this is the one. All you need are basic baking staples, a can of pumpkin puree, and your favorite fall spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ground ginger.
3. Amish Apple Fritter Bread
Hands down, apple fritter bread is one of the most phenomenal homemade breads I have ever tasted. The crust is crunchy and crispy, all wrapped in a sweet, sticky glaze that is simply out of this world. Inside, it’s soft and studded with a dreamy filling of apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
4. Amish Onion Bread
For a savory twist on Amish bread, this onion bread is calling your name. The inside is light and fluffy, while the outside is coated with robust flavor and a wonderfully crunchy topping. Think poppy seeds, onions, paprika, and a few other surprises.
5. Amish Biscuits
If you live for biscuits at breakfast, this super simple six ingredient recipe needs a spot in your book. Just flour, buttermilk, butter, baking powder, sugar, and salt come together to make buttery, crumbly biscuits in about 30 minutes. They might not look exactly like the biscuits you’re used to, but trust me, their taste is unbelievably yummy no matter what you pile on top.
6. Amish Potato Bread
This Amish potato bread is almost as good as the rolls: some folks might even say it’s better. You can use it for practically anything: sandwich bread, toast, PB and J sandwiches, and more. Inside it’s light and tender, with a perfectly flaky crust.
7. Honey Whole Wheat Bread
Okay, so this isn’t one of those super quick Amish breads you can pull together in under an hour. Between prep, rising, and baking, you’re looking at a little over 3 hours start to finish.
But the stunning look, the soft and moist crumb, and that superb taste? Totally worth every single minute.
8. Amish White Bread
They call it no fail Amish white bread, and that name is all the confidence you need, even if you’re a total beginner. Some folks know it as milk bread.
It’s a tender, eight ingredient loaf that makes the most incredible sandwich bread. Buttery, with a wonderful velvet texture. Yes, you’ll need a little time and patience, but it comes together in less than 3 hours.
9. Amish Potato Rolls
You think fluffy yeast rolls are the perfect dinner roll? Wait until you meet these Amish potato rolls.
They do take a little time, but every minute is so worth it. The insides are light, soft, and almost pillow like, with a gorgeous golden brown crust all glossed up in a shiny, buttery glaze.
10. Amish Cornbread
This dense, crumbly cornbread is homemade simplicity at its absolute finest. If you’ve ever had true southern cornbread, the kind with sour cream, extra butter, and just a whisper of sugar, you already know exactly what to expect: that gorgeous yellow hue and the most amazing texture. If not, you're about to fall in love.
