Mix thoroughly or the flour will get lumpy when you add the milk. 3. Slowly stir in warm milk and dissolved yeast mixture. Loosely cover the mixture with a lid or plastic wrap. The mixture will get bubbly. Consider this Day 1 of the cycle, or the day you receive the starter. Amish Friendship Bread directions Day 1 - receive the starter Day 2 - stir Day 3 - stir Day 4 - stir Day 5 - Add 1 cup each flour, sugar and milk. Day 6 - stir Day 7 - stir Day 8 - stir Day 9 - stir Day 10 - Add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk. Divide into 4 containers, with 1 cup each for three of your friends and 1 cup for your own loaves. Give friends the instructions for Day 1 through Day 10 and the following recipe for baking the bread. After removing the 3 cups of batter, combine the remaining cup of Amish Friendship Bread starter with the following ingredients in a large bowl:( OR FOLLOW ONE OF THE RECIPES BELOW WITH YOUR STARTER) Preheat the oven to 325F. To the remaining batter in the bowl add: 3 eggs 1 cup oil (or 1/2c oil and 1/2c applesauce) ½ cup milk 1 c sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon ½ teaspoon vanilla extract ½ teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt 2 cups flour 1 large box of INSTANT pudding mix (flavor of your choice) Grease 2 loaf pans.or muffin cups, In a small bow, mix ½ cup brown sugar and 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Dust the bottom of the loaf pans with half of the brown sugar / cinnamon mixture. Pour batter into the pans and sprinkle the remaining brown sugar / cinnamon mixture. Bake for 1 hour. Cool in pan until bread loosens… about 10 minutes. Turn out onto serving dish. Serve warm or cold. Options: Add 1 cup chopped nuts, raisins or chocolate chips Note: Should the recipe not be passed on to a friend on the 10th day, be certain to tell the recipient which day the bag is at when it is presented to them. When you divide the starter, write the date on each bag. This helps keep better track of which day you are on. If you keep a starter bag for yourself, you will be baking every ten days. This bread is very good and makes a great gift. If you give all your bags away, you will have to wait until someone gives you a starter back since how to create the starter is a “secret” list of his variations. In each one, add a box of pudding mix (whatever flavor you choose). It makes the bread very moist, and it stays moist for days. Our favorites include: add 1 cup of craisins (dried cranberries), 1 cup of walnuts, and 1 box of vanilla pudding. Another includes: 1 smashed banana, 1 cup of walnuts, and 1 box of banana cream pudding. Yet another is 1 cup white chocolate chips, 1 cup macadamia nuts (chopped), and 1 box of white chocolate pudding. YUM!!! These are always big hits, and are great for the holidays! Ill warn you though, you may think youve done something wrong when you mix these in on day 10, because the batter is more the consistency of cake batter than of bread dough, but its OK, it bakes up just like bread.
