Amish Friendship Bread
When you are making this bread, be sure that
you do not use
any metal utensils or bowls. I find that it is
easiest to make
the starter in gallon-size freezer bags. Doing
this not only
makes it easy to distribute the starters to
your friends but
then they can also be frozen to be used at a
later time. As the
recipe ferments, the bag will fill with air.
Burp the bag on a
daily basis as necessary. These also make
wonderful christmas
gifts to give when wrapped in colored Saran
wrap with curly ribbon.
Starter:
2 cups warm water
1 envelope yeast
2 cups plain flour
Day One: Mix the three ingredients together.
Place in a bag and
let set overnight on the counter to ferment. DO
NOT
refrigerate.
(If you have received the starter, do nothing
on day one.)
Day Two: Mash the bag to mix the starter. Burp
the bag if needed.
Day Three: Same as day two
Day Four: Same as previous two days
Day Five: Same as previous three days
Day Six: Add 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of sugar,
and 1 cup of milk to
the bag. Mix with a wooden spoon. Place back on
the counter.
Day Seven: Mash the bag to mix the starter.
Burp the bag if needed.
Day Eight: Same as day seven
Day Nine: Same as the previous two days
Day Ten: Dump the batter into a large bowl and
add: 1 cup of flour,
1 cup of sugar, and 1 cup of milk. Stir
thoroughly and pour
four 1-cup starters into large ziplock bags.
Keep one starter
for yourself and give the other 3 to friends
with these instructions.
To the remaining batter in the bowl, add the
following and mix well.
(You can also add nuts at this time):
1 cup oil
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 large box instant pudding or 2 small boxes
(pudding flavor of your choice)
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 cups flour
Preheat oven to 325 deg. Pour batter into two
greased and sugared
loaf pans. Use additional sugar and cinnamon to
coat loaf pans.
The sugar and cinnamon can be sprinkled over
the top of the batter
in the pans also. Bake 1 hour. Cool 10 minutes
and remove from pan.
You can also experiment with other flavors of
puddings:
*Lemon flavored with fresh blueberries added
and a lemon glaze on top
*Butterscotch flavor with chips of crushed
Butterfinger candybar added
*Chocolate flavor with chocolate chips added
*Coconut Cream flavor with almond slivers added
*Put a can of Pumpkin instead of the pudding
with nuts, dates, raisins,
etc
*You are only limited by your taste buds!

cinnamon liberally over all. Bake for 50 minutes, or until the filling just bubbles up in the middle. The filling
will never completely set, but that's the way it's supposed to be. This pie is better eaten at room
