AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD STARTER

Steps:

• This is the Amish Friendship Bread Starter recipe that you will need to make Amish Friendship Bread. Do NOT use any type of metal utensils or bowls for mixing, it will interfere with the fermentation process.
• In a glass or plastic measuring cup, dissolve yeast in warm water for about 10 minutes. Pour yeast mixture, 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk into a 1 gallon re-seal-able plastic bag. Seal and knead mixture until well combined. This is Day 1 of the Amish Friendship Bread instructions.

AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD STARTER

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water. Place all ingredients into a large bowl and stir until mixture is creamy. This can be a covered bowl or a gallon size zipper bag. You can cover your bowl with plastic wrap or with a tea towel like I did.
• If you are using a zipper bag you will mush the ingredients around instead of stirring. Also, if the bag gets air in it, please let the air out or it will eventually pop.
• Let the mixture stand in a warm place to ferment for 2 days. It will bubble and have a pleasant sour odor. After the second day, you start your Friendship Bread. You should have 1 cup of starter.
• Do not refrigerate the starter; you want to leave it out on the kitchen counter. Keeping it in the fridge will slow down the growth of yeast and you will not get the desired results from this starter. However, if you need to take a break from the starter (i.e. your going on vacation) you can freeze the starter. Thaw and start over where you left off.
• Remember, do not use a metal bowl or spoon at anytime during this process or on baking day.
• Take your 1 cup of starter: Day 1, 2, 3, and 4 - stir each day.
• Day 5, add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup milk. Stir well.
• Day 6,7,8, and 9 - stir each day. On day 10 add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup milk. Stir and put 1 cup of mixture in another container. This will be your starter that you keep going. Tomorrow you will begin this process over. Put a lid on the container or use a gallon size zipper bag.
• It's baking day!
