Ingredients for Amish Friendship Chocolate Bread

  • All Purpose Flour
  • White Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
  • Amish Starter
  • Vegetable Oil

How to Make Amish Friendship Chocolate Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add the oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Gradually add the buttermilk, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
