If you keep a starter yeast bag for yourself, you will be baking fresh FRIENDSHIP BREAD every 10 days.

Only the Amish know how to create the starter yeast, so if you give it all away, you’ll have to wait until someone gives you one back.Yum Yum….

I am looking for a starter for a 30 cake/friendship cake. If anyone has one they wouldn't mind sharing I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
