Amish Friendship Bread

Bread starter... Mary Claire brought that over.

Couldn't wait to cut into it... It was barely out of the oven when we sliced into it...It was good..a nice dense sweet bread - yum. Next time I am going to bake in a muffin pan as the crust is super delicious.

Day 4 Mush the bag

Day 5 Mush the bag

Day 6 Add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk then mush the bag

Day 7 Mush the bag

Day 8 Mush the bag

Day 9 Mush the bag
Day 10 Follow the instructions below:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Pour contents into a non-metal bowl.

Add 1 1/2 cups each flour, sugar and milk. Mix and measure out 4 one cup portions of batter and put into 4 ziploc bags. Write day 1 date on the bag and distribute to friends or keep all to yourself!

To the remaining batter, add the following

3 eggs

2 cups flour

1 cup sugar

1 cup oil

1/2 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon sale

1 box vanilla instant pudding

Mix thoroughly and then pour into greased loag pans. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, if desired. Bake for one hour. Cool until bread loosens from the pan and serve.

NOTE - do not refridgerate the starter or use any sort of metal spoon or bowl. It is normal for the starter to rise, bubble and ferment so when the bag fills up with air, just let it out.
