Yummy! But submitter forgot the most important step; once pans are greased, carefully sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture, and sprinkle more on top before baking! UPDATE: Made four mini loaves with this recipe, which took about 40 minutes to bake.

Yum - I love this recipe because there are so many different ways to make it. ONE NOTE: If you use 1 large box of instant pudding, or 2 small ones, you will not need to add any additional sugar. It is plenty sweet. I loved having raisins in ours & can't wait to try other's ideas.

For all the babysitting you have to do for Amish bread, I did not think it was that great. I actually did not like the after taste of the starter. But I do prefer this recipe over the recipe with pudding added to it.

I think this is a great recipe. However like many others, I have noone else who will take a starter. I too have made the bread without adding on day 10. I didn't want any more starters. Another recipe that I intend to try is the 30 day cake.

This is a great recipe! My friend gave me this recipe, along with a loaf of bread and a starter. Hers included a box of pudding, flavor of choice, and she uses 2 teaspoons cinnamon. My whole family loves it! With all the endless possibilities that can be added to this such as nuts, baking chips, fruit, some veggies like carrots or zuchini, I was always have a starter in process and/or in the freezer.

I hate to burst bubbles, but after several cycles of making this recipe, I got suspicious of what the starter was actually adding to the mix. So I just completed two loafs: one with 1/2 c. starter and one exactly the same without the starter. the breads came out virtually the same!!!! I was hoping the starter would add a tang or ? but there was no taste difference and we actually preferred the texture without the starter, it was a bit moister?!? So I'm afraid I will omit the starter in the future....

I substituted 1/2 c brown sugar for 1/2 cup of white sugar and added 1/2 cup butterscotch chips. Delicious!

I just recently recieved this as a gift. I love the recipe!! Mine also calls for a large 5.1 box of vanilla or chocolat pudding. I have found out a few ways to make this more healthy. I use only skim milk, an egg substitute, and since mine calls for pudding I use fat free no sugar added vanilla. You can't taste the difference. I also like to make them into "cupcakes" or muffins, this makes it easier to eat just one serving at a time. Great recipe!!!

I made the following changes and won two prizes: Baked in a 9x13 pan for 35 min. at 325, added 3/4 cup oil instead of 2/3, 1/2 cup of milk or 1/2 and 1/2, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and a large 5 oz box of vanilla pudding (added to the dry ingredients) I substitute 2 teaspoons of maple flavoring for the vanilla sometimes and if you like maple, wow is that good! Won a prize at work for this and at the State Fair for a variation! Thanks for the basic recipe!

This recipe could use some revamping.It wasn't quite the bang i was expecting.I upped the cinnamon by 1/2 teaspoon and added 1/2 c. applesauce and cut the oil to 1/2 c. to reduce some fat.

This is a really good cake - it's nothing like bread. The yeast gives it a definite zing that makes people wonder what's in it. I added 1 cup sultanas and changed the sugar to 3/4 c brown sugar and 1/4 c white sugar. The quantity here works well in a high sided 8" square pan - it's good to have a taller cake as it seems to stay more moist. When I did this I put the whole mixture in one pan and it baked in about 1 hr. Lower the temperature to about 335F to prevent burning on the bottom.

The smell oh the smell is so good smells like home! Also, on day 10 I had only 1 cup of white sugar in the house and per the recommendation of several websites I substituted Brown Sugar in equal ammounts. man it was even better! Going to add pecans and raisins next time.

This recipe was ok. Not the best bread I ever had. The baking time was not long enough so it was very brown on the outside and runny in the middle. Also it's very salty for my taste.

So, so good. I took it out of the oven around the 40 min. mark and it was perfect. If anything, it is a little too sweet.

I have made this bread for years and love it. I add a little allspice and nutmeg to the recipe. Also I freeze any leftover starters that I don't give away. That way, it I have a taste for the bread, I always have a starter waiting for me in the freezer. Also, the fresh baked bread make wonderful gifts, especially to new neighbors!
