My sister-in-law gave me a recipe for Amish Friendship Bread along with
a jar-full of the starter mix. Here is the recipe:
***Do not use metal spoon
***Do not refrigerate dough!!
day 1 -- Get starter and do nothing
day 2 -- Stir once each day with wooden spoon
day 3 -- Stir once each day with wooden spoon
day 4 -- Stir once each day with wooden spoon
day 5 -- Add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk and stir
day 6 -- Stir once each day with wooden spoon
day 7 -- Stir once each day with wooden spoon
day 8 -- Stir once each day with wooden spoon
day 9 -- Stir once each day with wooden spoon
day 10 - Add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk and stir.
pour into containers of 1 cup each and give to 3 friends
with copy of recipe (or 2 friends and keep 1 start for yourself)
To the remainder add:
2/3 cup oil 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
3 eggs 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 cups flour 1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar 2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp cinnamon
Pour into 2 well greased and sugared loaf pans. Bake 40 to 50 min.
at 350 degrees. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan. The bread
may be frozen for a later date. (note the starter)
Okay, this is my question: what's the starter recipe? Is it a secret?
or is it just 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup milk? It sure smells good!
thanks!
