AMISH FRIENDSHIP DOUGH STARTER (AKA HERMAN)
Steps:
- Mix the following in a NON METAL BOWL WITH NON METAL UTENSILS!!!!!!! Mix the yeast and the first 1/2 c water together and let stand until "yeasty". Then sift the dry stuff together, and combine it with the yeast/water and the other 2 c of luke warm water. Mix well with a non-metal spoon and let stand uncovered at room temp for 3-5 days, covering only at night, and stirring 2-3 times a day. Remove 1 cup and start the ten day ritual, as below. With the remaining mix, add 1/2 c water, 1/2 c flour, and 1 t sugar. Let stand at room temp one day (until very bubbly). Store covered in fridge for up to 10 days for in recipes or as further starter. 10-day ritual (all done at room temp in non-metal bowl) Day 1--you receive "Herman" and do nothing Day 2--stir w/non metal (pref. wooden) spoon Day 3--stir Day 4--stir Day 5--add 1 c each of flour, sugar, and milk. Stir Day 6--stir Day 7--stir Day 8--stir Day 9--stir Day 10--"Herman is born!" Add 1 c each of flour, sugar, and milk. Stir well. Pour 1 C each into 3 containers. Give to friends/enemies with above instructions. Reserve one cup for reprocessing for yourself. The friend who gave me this starter recipe controls her batch by only adding 1/3 c of each ingredient on days 5 and 10. You can do this to prevent yourself from becoming overrun! The bread recipe below is a good solution to the starter, but you end up 50 lbs overweight and have a freezer full of loaves unless you learn to control the "Herman" or pass it on to friends. Amish Friendship Bread To Remaining Batch of "Herman" (after you remove the 3 cups and restart or pass them on) add the following. Remaining Herman 2/3 c oil 3 eggs 1 c nut/fruit of choice (applesauce, bananas, etc) 2 c flour 1 1/2 t baking powder 1 c sugar 3/4 salt 1/2 t soda 1 t cinnamon Mix well and bake at 350 45-50 min. Makes 2 loaves. File ftp://ftp.idiscover.co.uk/pub/food/mealmaster/recipes/mmkah001.zip

HERMAN COFFEE CAKE STARTER AND BREAD
This delicious cake (and starter) should be shared with friends, who in turn share with their friends ... and on and on. Thus, often called a "Friendship Cake", it fills the house with an irresistible aroma and makes a lovely present for any Holiday. Although it takes about 3 weeks for the Starter to be ready to use, feeding Herman is very quick and easy. This recipe was given to me by a friend over 30 years ago, and I still enjoy sharing this Herman Cake & Starter (including recipe). Prep. time does not include making the Starter the very first time.

HERMAN SOURDOUGH STARTER
This is a recipe for a sweet sourdough starter known as Herman. There are a number of things that can be made from it. It's very important to NOT use metal utensils or bowls! It will take 15 days for the starter to mature and be ready to use the first time you make it. After that it can be ready for use every 10 days.
