Amish Friendship Sweet Bread

RE: Amish Friendship Sweet Bread Post by speedyqltr (1) | (04/27/2008) Contact For those of you wondering about making the cakes without sharing the batter, well I just did that tonight. I doubled ALL the ingredients for the 10th day, and then divided the resulting batter in half, adding a different instant pudding to each half. To one half, I added Lemon Pie Filling (the kind you use for Lemon Meringue Pie) but did NOT bake it. I added the powder straight from the package along with 2 capfuls of real lemon juice concentrate. IT WAS AMAZING! For each completed batch of batter, INCLUDING the 3 "give away" cupfuls, you get (2) full sized loaf pans, (1) 8" square pan, and (4) mini-loaf pans. So far I've made chocolate/chocolate chip cake, banana chocolate chip cake, and lemon. They have all been awesome! The best thing was that I didn't have to try and beg people to take the batter, I used it all up. They freeze really nicely too, either baked up or as batter.

I added day 10 ingredients (only the sugar flour and milk) on day five, and they weigh out to be different measurements (mistake in the kitchen). Should I continue, or give it up, and possibly start a new batch? Report Spam or Abuse RE: Amish Friendship Sweet Bread Post By AmyA (Guest Post) (02/06/2008) I reeived a starter and forgot to add the items on day 6. I instead added them today, on day 10. Should I scrap it or will it still be good? Should I squeeze for a couple of more days and add the other ingredients in a couple of days as though I did it right? Please help! I have heard it is so good, I would love to make it in a couple of days, but don't want to go through the work, and waste the ingredients, if it is not going to work out. Thanks for any advice!

Next batch I used butterscotch pudding with cranberries and a few choc. chips. Next time I am going to use chocolate pudding. mini marshmallows and choc. chips. O love this it's so flexible you can put anything in it that you want. My mom used to make this when I was a kid and she would put 1/2 the batter into the greased pan, sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon mixture and then put the rest of the batter and bake.

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. 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. 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). Editor's 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. Report Spam or Abuse
