Amazing Amish Cinnamon Bread

For many years now, I have had the recipe for the Amish bread that took several days and you had to pass it around. I fell in love with the Amish bread, but now I came across the quick alternative that takes only minutes. I also have the recipe for the original I will post soon. This bread is very moist with the perfect touch of sweetness. I love going to Lancaster, Pennsylvania to Amish and shopping in all of the stores that are owned by them. I came across a woman who has given me some of their family recipes that I will post. The one reason why I will travel there is for the cinnamon rolls. And I have the recipe with the secret ingredient. I cannot wait to share with all of you. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!!
