If the container has a lid, leave it slightly open, or place a piece of cheesecloth over the container and secure it with a rubber band. Store at room temperature. Stir every day for 17 days. On the 18th day do nothing. On the 19, 20 and 21, stir. On day 22 stir and add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk. Stir again. On days 23, 24, 25 and 26 stir. On day 27, add 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk and 1 cup sugar. Stir. You should have about 4 cups starter. Give 1 cup each to two friends and keep the remaining two cups for yourself. Use one in Amish Friendship Bread recipe (which follows) and use the other to keep the starter going. When you give away the starter, include these instructions. How to keep a starter going: Do not refrigerate and do not use a metal spoon when stirring. On day 1 (the day you receive you starter) do nothing. Days, 2 3, and 4, stir. On day 5, stir in 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk. Pour mixture into large glass mixing bowl; cover lightly. Mixture will rise. On days, 6, 7, 8 and 9, stir. On day 10, stir in 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk and stir. Give 1 cup each to two friends, keeping one cup to make the bread and one cup for your starter. Making starter using Yeast Get your Sour Dough Batter from a friend - or start one - Mix together in a bowl 1 teaspoon active dry yeast, 1/4 cup warm water, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 cup all-purpose flour. Cover and let stand 2-3 days. It will become bubbly and will have a sour odor. Separate into 3 portions and give 2 of them away to friends. AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD Do Not use any type of metal spoon or bowl for the mixing process Do Not Refrigerate the bag If air gets into the bag, and let the air out. It is normal for the battered to rise Day 1 on the bad will be the date when it was prepared to do nothing 2 mush the bag 3 mush the bag 4 mush the bag 5 mush the bag 6 add 1 c. flour, 1 c. sugar, and 1 c. milk. Mix with in the bag 7 mush the bag 8 mush the bag 9 mush the bag 10 mixing day! In a large glass or plastic bowl combine 1 1/2 cups flour-1 1/2 cups sugar-1 1/2 cups milk, -entire bag of starter Stir together with a wooden spoon or plastic spoon. Pour 1 c. starter into each of 4 1 gal. ziploc bag. Keep 1 Starter 4 Yourself (or not) and give the others away to 3 of your friends along with a copy of these ingredients be sure to tell your friends which day the starter was made. To the remaining batter in the bowl approximately 2 c., add these ingredients and mix well with a non metallic spoon. 1 c. oil 2 tsp. cinnamon 3 eggs 1/2 cup milk 2 c. flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 c. sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 large box instant vanilla pudding (Small OKAY) 1 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tsp. vanilla 1 c. nuts/raisins (Optional) Grease 2 large loaf pans (or 5 small ones). Mix 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon and sprinkle into greased pan. Shake to coat all sides pour out and save the excess. Pour the batter into pans. Sprinkle SAVE cinnamon and sugar over batter. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour. Cool until bread loosens from pan easily. AMISH FRIENDSHIP BANANA NUT BREAD 2 very ripe bananas, mashed 1/3 cup vegetable oil, butter, or Crisco 1 rounded cup all-purpose flour 1/3 cup light brown or white sugar 2 eggs 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 tablespoon buttermilk powder (optional) 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons myer's rum or banana liqueur 1/2 cup Amish Friendship Starter 1/2 cup chopped pecans, walnuts, or macadamia nuts Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine all ingredients. Turn out into a well greased and floured bread loaf pan, flattening the center slightly. When a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean (about 50 minutes later) remove from oven. Allow to cool for 10 minutes and run a butter knife along side of pan to free cake. Remove from pan and spread butter on the top of cake, if desired. AMISH FRIENDSHIP FRUIT BREAD 2 cups flour 1 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon vanilla (or other) extract 1 cup Amish Friendship Bread Starter 2/3 cup corn or vegetable oil 2 cups mashed banana or chopped apples, peaches or pineapple Note: If using apple filling, add 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon ginger. Maple sugar, butter rum and walnut extract/flavorings are also complementary with apples or banana s, while coconut rum works well with pineapple. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour two bread loaf pans. Combine all ingredients, being careful not to overmix. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until cake tester inserted into center comes out clean. Brush top of loaves with melted butter and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar when removed from oven, if desired. QUICK BREADS: To this 2 cups of starter, add the following ingredients: 1 c. sugar 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt 3 eggs 2 c. flour 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder 2 tsp. cinnamon I also add chopped apples, bananas, zucchini, rhubarb, pumpkin (I add about 1/2 teaspoon cloves and 1/2 teaspoon allspice), fruit cocktail (drained), pineapple (drained) or raisins. I add 1 cup per loaf. The last time on my chopped apple, I added 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg with the cinnamon. I add the cinnamon as in the recipe above before I put the fruit in. If you have 4 cups of starter, double this recipe. (If you take out 1 starter, you will have enough to double and have 4 loaves.) WHITE BREAD: Go through the procedure for 10 days. After taking out your starter to keep, you have approximately 4 cups of batter left. DO NOT ADD THE INGREDIENTS FOR QUICK BREADS. This recipe is for 2 cups. If you have 4 cups, double this recipe. Approximately 2 c. starter 2 c. potatoes, mashed (we use instant potatoes & mix according to instructions), add HOT 1 tsp. salt (if you put salt in the instant potatoes, do not add this) 1/3 c. oil Flour (enough to make a soft dough) Knead until smooth, place in bowl, cover with waxed paper and let rise. I set mine in my oven, which has a pilot light, and let rise overnight. However, this is not necessary, just let rise until double in bulk. Punch down and let rise again. Shape into 2 loaves and place in bread pan. Bake about 45 minutes at 350 degrees, or until golden brown. Muffins also can be made. Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Melt 1/2 stick butter; dip muffin in butter then in a mixture of 1/2 cup sugar, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg. Optional Additions: -(1/2 cup each). Raisins, chopped pitted dates, nuts, dried cherries, mashed ripe bananas, blueberries, coconut, canned pumpkin, chocolate chips, chopped apples, grated carrot, grated zucchini. , , drained fruit cocktail or pineapple,1 T poppy seed Stir until smooth. Bake in 2 greased loaf pans at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until done. You can add a small box of instant pudding,Small box instant lemon pudding, 1 tablespoons poppy seeds or Small box instant chocolate pudding 1/2 cup chocolate chips 1/2 cup nuts, or 1 small box instant butterscotch putting, 1 c. pecans NOTE: WHEAT AND WHITE FLOUR CAN BE MIXED AS CAN WHITE AND BROWN SUGAR.) AMISH FRIENDSHIP APPLE BREAD Mix together: 2/3 c. oil 3 eggs 2 c. flour 1 c. sugar 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. baking powder Then add: 2 c. apples Pour 2 greased loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes, until done. you can freeze the starter for future use This last time I froze them. I took one out and just let it sit for the 10 days, not adding the extra 3 cups on the 5th or 10th day, I just stirred it each day. Then on the 10th day I followed the rest of the recipe and the bread turned out wonderful, no difference and I don't have to find 3 people to give a starter too. Thought this might help anyone trying to find a friend to share with or if your friends all say no. If you read up on sourdoughs and starters, you'll find that one of the reasons people mess with them is the health benefit of the natural occuring yeasts. Unfortunately, most people these days have become too "domesticated", and so can't see how letting something go sour on its own can be any good. Thus, most "official" starter recipes call for addition of store bought yeast. In the authentic way, you start with one cup each of flour, milk and sugar, stir it every day for the first 4 days, add one cup each of flour, milk and sugar on day 5, stir well; stir it every day for the next 4 days; add one cup each of flour, milk and sugar on day 10, stir well - and you should be ready to use the starter. Traditional recipes ask to only use wooden or plastic bowls/jars/utensils. This is done because there is a possibility of the yeast's acidity acting on the metal and changing PH and messing everything up. The other important point to make, is that when you're making the starter, it should be left uncovered or covered loosely with cheese cloth or such. The starter needs airflow! Once ready, the starter could be kept in the fridge for about 2 weeks; to reactivate it, take it out and feed it with one cup each of flour, milk and sugar, stir well and leave at room temperature. I think that starter can be covered with a lid/kept in a zip-lock bag while refridgerated. For those who want to have their starter always available - keep it at room temperature, stir it every day Babbie in CA Report Spam or Abuse Request: Anyone Know the Starter For Amish Friendship Bread Recipe?

Amish Friendship Bread Recipe INGREDIENTS 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast 1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C) 3 cups all-purpose flour, divided 3 cups white sugar, divided 3 cups milk DIRECTIONS 1. 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 until bubbly. Consider this day 1 of the 10 day cycle. Leave loosely covered at room temperature. 2. On days 2 thru 4; stir starter with a spoon. Day 5; stir in 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk. Days 6 thru 9; stir only. 3. 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). 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. (09/27/2007) By Donna. RE: Anyone Know the Starter For Amish Friendship Bread Recipe?

Stir well. In a 2 quart glass,plastic or ceramic container, combine flour and sugar. Mix thoroughly or the flour will lump when the milk is added. Slowly stir in warm milk and softened yeast mixture. Cover loosely and let stand at room temperature until bubbly. Refrigerate. Consider this DAY 1 of the 10 day cycle. DAYS 2 through 4; STIR WITH A SPOON. DAY 5: to feed, blend flour and sugar in a small bowl; slowly mix in milk with a spoon, whisk or hand mixer. Stir mixture into starter. Return to refrigerator. DAYS 6 through 9: Stir. DAY 10 (which becomes day 1 for the next series): Feed again. NOTE; Consider the 10 day cycle a guide; it doesn't need to be followed exactly. If you need more starter,feed it more often. The starter is a yeast culture and will grow when fed. To hasten growth, leave starter at room temperature for several hours. After feeding the starter, choose from the following OPTIONS: Return starter to refrigerator, OR remove what you need for baking and leave at room temperature until very bubbly. Return remainder to refrigerator and continue to follow the 10 day cycle. If you are getting too much, cut the food in half on one feeding. Don't let starter drop below 1 cup because rejuvinating it to usable amounts takes several days. OR Measure out 1 cup lots to give to friends or put in the freezer. Smaller batches thaw more easily OR Use some for baking and freeze or give some away. Be sure to keep at least 1 cup in the refrigerator to feed or in the freezer for use later. Frozen starter takes at least 3 hours at room temperature to thaw and come to life. Then it behaves like fresh.
