Here is a recipe for Amish Friendship bread starter for Sandra. Hope this
helps. This bread is so good for the holidays. Mary in Pelham, NC.
Amish Friendship Bread Starter
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1/4 c. warm water
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. sugar
1 c. warm milk
In small bowl, soften yeast in water for 10 minutes; stir well. In a 2-quart bowl, combine flour and sugar. Mix thoroughly, or the flour will lump when the milk is added. Slowly stir in warm milk and soften yeast mixture. Cover loosely and let stand at room temperature until bubbly. Consider this Day One of the 10-day cycle. Days 1,2,3 and 4: Stir batter each day. Day 5: Add 1 cup each milk, flour, and sugar; stir. Day 6,7,8, and 9: Stir batter each day. Day 10: Add 1 cup each milk, flour, and sugar; stir. The batter is ready to use. You can pour 1 cup batter into each of three containers and give one or two away. Save 1 cup to begin process over
again. Use the rest in the recipe.
