Amish Friendship Bread
This is a delicious bread that can be adapted many ways.
Make it plain or
mix in your favorite fruit. Give the starter and recipe as a gift during
the holidays.
Make something special to share with a friend.
This delicious starter can
make a variety of breads. Do not use metal containers or utensils.
Starter: In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in water.
Let stand 10 minutes.
In a 2 quart container glass, plastic or ceramic container,
combine 1 cup
flour and 1 cup sugar. Mix thoroughly or flour will lump when milk is
added. Slowly stir in 1 cup milk and dissolved yeast mixture. Cover
loosely and let stand at room temperature until bubbly.
Consider this day
1 of the 10 day cycle. On days 2 through 4;
stir starter with a spoon. Day
5; stir in 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk.
Days 6 through 9; stir
only. Day 10; stir in 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk. Remove 1
cup to make your first bread, give 2 cups to friends along with this
recipe, and your favorite Amish Bread recipe.
Store the remaining 1 cup
starter in a container in the refrigerator, or begin the 10 day process
over again (beginning with step 2).

Note: Once you have made the starter, you will consider it Day
One, and thus ignore step 1 in this recipe and proceed with step
2. You can also
freeze this starter in 1 cup measures for later use. Frozen starter will
take at least 3 hours at room temperature to thaw before using.
