Amish Bread Recipe for the Bread Machine

January 7, 2011 by Kimberly Danger 34 Comments

Are you craving a taste of simple, home-baked goodness? Our unique recipe for Amish sweet bread delivers just that. An enticing blend of simplicity and flavor, this easy-to-follow guide is perfect for your bread machine.

A Taste of Tradition: The Amish Sweet Bread

The Amish community, known for its rich traditions and handcrafted goods, excels in the culinary arts, with bread-making being a prime example. Among their repertoire, the Amish sweet bread stands out—a light, fluffy, subtly sweet delight that pairs wonderfully with your morning coffee or as an afternoon treat.

Amish Sweet Bread: The Bread Machine Version

While traditional Amish bread is usually baked in the oven, we've adapted this recipe to cater to those who prefer using a bread machine, making the process simpler and more accessible without compromising the authentic taste.

Ingredients You'll Need

Amish Bread Recipe for the Bread Machine
2 3/4 C. flour
1/4 C. canola oil (I used vegetable oil)
1 tsp. bread machine yeast
1/4 C. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 C. + 2 Tbsp. warm water

A recipe for Amish bread for the bread machine may be pretty ironic, but it's also pretty tasty!  For this recipe, set your bread machine settings to light crust.  Makes a 1 1/2 lb. loaf.

Once baked, remove your bread from the machine and let it cool on a wire rack before serving. This Amish sweet bread is fantastic when served warm with a bit of butter or your favorite jam.

Tips for Perfect Amish Sweet Bread Every Time

While the recipe is straightforward, a few tips can ensure your Amish sweet bread turns out perfect every time.

  • Make sure your water is warm, not hot. The ideal temperature is 110 degrees F.
  • Always use fresh yeast. Expired yeast may not produce the desired rise.
  • Avoid over-baking. The bread should be a golden color, not brown.

Conclusion: Savour the Amish Tradition at Home

With our easy-to-follow guide, you can now enjoy authentic Amish sweet bread from the comfort of your home. This recipe is ideal for both beginners and expert bakers alike, allowing you to taste a slice of Amish tradition right from your bread machine. So why wait? Gather your ingredients and let the smell of freshly baked bread fill your home today.

    You’re right, mine is in a cupboard and has been there for years unused. I’m going to get it out. This sounds so good.

    Can you use regular yeast or does it have to be bread machine yeast?

      Katie, I’ve always used bread machine yeast. I believe it’s designed for the rapid rising cycle of a bread machine.

    @Karen…check the thrift stores and craigslist.org to find a bread machine. We’ve seen them for free on craigslist many times. We picked up one for $5 from a thrift store. It was a basic model. We then found a friend who had a tricked out super duper bread machine collecting dust. They gave it to us and I’ve been making a loaf every 7-10 days since January ☺

    I made this bread today and it turned out great! I did use more flour because I thought it looked rather sticky! I also used regular flour because that is all I had and the recipe did not state which kind anyhow! I would guess I used 3c. of flour! Yummy!

      Joanna I know this is months later but I made this tonight with my gluten free flour (GF Jules) and it worked out really nicely and everyone loved it. The only thing I did different was substitute the gluten flour for my gluten free and used the gluten free setting on my bread machine. Good Luck.

    You do not have directions on how to add the ingredients to the bread machine? Please clearify, in what order to add to machine.
    Thanks.

      It depends on your bread machine. Check the manual. Mine goes: water, eggs, butter or oil
      Then salt, sugar
      Then flour(s), any other dry ingredients
      Then i make a dent and put in the yeast
      Nuts or raisins etc if using go around the edge so they don’t mix in too soon. Or you can add at the first beep. But i often don’t hear it.

    I know this is a stupid question but I do not see it posted up top. Is there a certain way to put it all in the machine or just throw it all in.

      Bread machines can vary in the order but usually the wet ingredients goes first. Then salt, sugar and flour. Yeast last by making a small dent in the center of the flour. If your adding fruit or nuts, you would do so at the beep or scatter them around the edges of the flour incase your worried about missing the beep.

      Update from yesterday:
      I followed your recipe to the tee and the bread came out delicious and so moist. I have to make another loaf today because the one I made yesterday lasted 10 minutes! Thanks for the recipe it’s going to be used for years and years to come. So simple yet so delicious! 🙂

    The liquid to flour is off…the one cup of water is usually the amount for three cups of flour ,but now it calls for 1/4 cup of oil plus the two Tbs.of water…at least for me… I mostly use the machine for the kneading process,and than bye in the oven foe loaf pan or formed loaves….hope this helps
