Why does my Amish Friendship Bread sink in the middle?

[Kardel]

Hello! My Amish Friendship Bread always sinks in the middle after baking. What could be causing this? I follow the recipe carefully, but it still happens. Any tips or tricks to help it rise evenly? Thanks a bunch!

Hello! It sounds like your Amish Friendship Bread might be sinking due to a few common issues. One possibility is that the batter is too heavy, which can happen if it’s overmixed or if you’re using too much liquid. Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing, as this helps the batter rise better. Also, consider checking your oven temperature with a thermometer; sometimes ovens can be off, leading to uneven baking. Hope this helps your bread rise perfectly next time!

Great tips! Overmixing and too much liquid can definitely weigh down the batter. Making sure the ingredients are at room temperature and checking the oven temperature sounds like solid advice. I’ll keep these in mind next time—thanks for the help!
