Comfort Food: Amish Friendship Bread Cinnamon Rolls

In these Amish Friendship Bread Cinnamon Rolls, starter lends itself to a balanced, airy golden-brown dough, filled with butter, cinnamon and sugar, and topped with a slightly-tangy, a-little-bit sweet frosting. If you don't have Friendship Bread starter: make the sponge with scant ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup oil, 2 cups milk, 4 cups flour, and 1 Tbsp. instant yeast. A note on active dry yeast: proof the same amount of yeast in a couple tablespoons of warm water and a pinch of sugar until the mixture bubbles and foams, 3-5 minutes. Add it to the sponge in step 2 of the instructions where it says to add the instant yeast.

Ingredients:
- Sponge:
- 1 cup Friendship Bread Starter (see recipe at top of blog post)
- 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- ½ cup neutral-flavored oil (I used Canola)
- 1⅔ cups whole milk, scalded (heat to just below a boil)
- 3⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp. instant yeast (see note for active dry yeast)
- Dough
- ¾ cup (3.75 oz) all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- 1½ tsp. salt
- Filling:
- 8 Tbsp. (1 stick or 4 oz) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ¾ cup (about 5.5 oz) packed dark brown sugar
- 1 heaping Tbsp. cinnamon
- Frosting:
- 2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 8 Tbsp. (1 stick or 4 ounces) unsalted butter, room temperature
- Pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons buttermilk or heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1¾ cups (7 ounces) powdered sugar
How to cook:
- In the bowl of your stand mixer (or in a large bowl if mixing by hand), hand-stir together the starter, sugar and oil. Add the scalded milk and mix. Let the mixture sit for 15-20 minutes or until it is warm.
- Add the 3⅔ cups flour to the mixture and sprinkle the yeast on top of the flour. Scraping down the bowl with a silicone spatula, and gently mix until no dry streaks remain. The dough will be loose and look a little wet--no need to worry. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the sponge rest until its doubled, between 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the temperature of your kitchen.
- Once the sponge has proofed, add the remaining ¾ cup flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using the dough hook of your stand mixer, mix at low-medium speed (I used Level 4 on my Kitchenaid Mixer) until the flour is completely incorporated and the dough looks smooth instead of rough and shaggy. It may take a few minutes for it to come together. Only if it is too sticky to handle or a small piece of dough won't form a ball in your hands, add more flour 1 Tbsp. at a time.
- Once uniform, scrape the dough into a lightly greased glass bowl or plastic container. Cover with a piece of plastic and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- On a lightly floured (2 or 3 Tbsp) surface, roll or pat the dough into about a 18X12-inch rectangle. Using your fingers, spread the room temperature butter evenly across the top. In a bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and sprinkle evenly across the top of the butter. Pat down very lightly.
- Starting with the long end closest to you, start rolling the rectangle into a log. Rolling as tightly as possible, resist pulling and stretching the dough. One rolled, position the seam on the bottom and lightly squeeze or pat the log into an even thickness. The log will be about 20 inches long.
- Cut the log in half. Cut 6 even pieces from each half to total 12 rolls.
- Place the rolls on a parchment-lined pan or baking dish of your choosing (recommended: 2 9" round pans or 1 9"x13" inch glass or ceramic baking dish).The rolls should be about an inch apart so they have room to rise. Cover with lightly greased plastic wrap and let rise until almost doubled, about an hour.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 18-24 minutes until lightly golden and baked through. Let cool until warm before frosting.
- For the frosting, cream together the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl using a handheld (or stand) mixer. Add the salt, buttermilk, and vanilla. Mix again. Add the powdered sugar, a little at a time, and whip until light and creamy.
- Spread the icing evenly over the warm rolls. Serve immediately or let cool to room temperature and enjoy!
Amish Cinnamon Bread (Friendship Bread)

Amish Friendship Bread is a great bread for those special occasions. When you've made your bread, you can give your friends a sample and the starter that came from the original batter that helped to make the sample bread! Then your friends can make their own and pass it along to their friends. This is why the bread is called "friendship bread". It's time consuming, but it's worth it. Amish Friendship Bread is a starter bread. If you know someone with a starter, you are in luck. For those of you without access to a starter, I have placed the directions for the starter in step one. When passing the recipe on, be sure they realize that part of step one is not day one for them. Or you may want to eliminate the part of step one that does not pertain to them when passing on your starters.

- 1/2 cup milk

- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 (6 ounce) box vanilla instant pudding mix

- Day One: For those making the starter from scratch: combine 1 cup milk, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup flour in a large zip lock bag and mush to mix ingredients. For those receiving the fermented batter in a gallon zip lock bag: Do nothing. Leave it to sit on the counter.
- On days 2-4: Squeeze the bag several times during the day. (If air builds up in the bag, open the zip lock slightly and remove the air). I took mine to work, laid it on my desk, and to relieve stress squeezed the bag several times during the day. Ha ha ha!
- On day 5: add 1 cup milk, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup self-rising flour to the bag. Squeeze the bag several times during the day.
- On days 6-8: Squeeze the bag several times during the day.(remove air).
- On day 9: Add 1 cup milk, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup self-rising flour into the bag. Close zip lock. Squeeze the bag several times during the day.
- Day 10: Pour 1/2 cup "starter" in four (4) separate gallon zip lock bags. These starters replace the milk, flour, and sugar used to start the very first batch from scratch. Give the four bags to friends along with the steps on how to finish making their own starters and bread, or freeze the starters for future use if desired, just be sure that once you take a starter out of the freezer, you let it sit out one day before starting your steps.
- In a large glass bowl add 2 cups self-rising flour, 1 cup of sugar, 3 eggs, 1 cup oil, 2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 cup milk, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 large box (or 2 small boxes) of instant vanilla pudding, 1/2 cup of either raisins, nuts, chocolate chips or fruit (optional) or 1/4 cup of any two of these ingredients; mix well.
- Spray well 2 large loaf pans with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl or cup, mix 1 tsp cinnamon and 2 tbsp sugar. Sprinkle about 1/2 to 2/3 in loaf pans, reserving about 1/3 to 1/2 of the mix.
- Pour batter into pans.
- Sprinkle remaining cinnamon and sugar mix across the tops of the batter.(You may choose to sprinkle the remaining mix after baking the bread).
- Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.
- IMPORTANT NOTES:.
- You may also make small loaves. If you do, bake at the same temperature, but for 25-30 minutes.
- Do not use metal spoon or metal bowl for mixing.
- Do not refrigerate at any time during the process. Keep on the counter.
- If air builds up in the zip lock. Open the zipper slightly and squeeze the air out, being careful not to let any of the batter out. Quickly reseal.
- It is normal for the batter to thicken and bubble during the time it sits on the counter. This is called the fermentation process.
- You may replace the nuts or the raisins with chocolate chips or dried fruit (or fresh, not canned or frozen). Or you can eliminate them and just leave it plain. It's great any way you slice it. ;0).
- Also, the bread will yield more than four serving. If you do the two large loafs, it will yield how ever large a slice you want it to be. So if sliced about the size of a normal slice of bread, one loaf could yield about 16-18 slices. The serving size listed came off the paper I got with the recipe. I'm not sure why they say four servings. Each of four servings would be 1/2 a loaf.
