No matter what time of year it is, an Amish friendship bread recipe
is always a good idea. Give this Old-Fashioned Friendship Bread
Recipe to your friends to show you how much you appreciate them.
Amish recipes like this make unique gifts that your loved ones will
absolutely go crazy for. Fortunately, this Amish bread recipe is a
lot easier than it looks, so you should feel pretty comfortable if
you've never made it before. With bread recipes like this, you will
notice your friend count begin to multiply.
Grow some Amish Friendship Bread Starter and then make the most
delicious bread with it! The bread is yeasted but tastes like a quick
bread! Then share a cup of starter with a friend, so they can enjoy it too.
DAY 1: Make your starter: Stir yeast into warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Whisk sugar and flour in a 2 Qt container (or I've heard you can use
a ziploc bag, but we always used a bowl). Whisk in milk. Be sure to
stir the corners - the flour will get clumpy and stuck if you're not careful.
Stir the yeast mixture into the flour mixture. Cover loosely and
store on the counter.
DAYS 2-4: STIR THE MIXTURE ONCE PER DAY.
DAY 5: Feed the mixture: Stir 1 cup each sugar, flour, and milk into
the starter. Cover loosely and store on the counter.
DAYS 6-9: STIR THE MIXTURE ONCE PER DAY.
DAY 10: Feed the mixture: Stir 1 cup each sugar, flour, and milk into
the starter. Cover loosely and store on the counter.
Remove 1 cup of starter to use in the Amish Friendship Bread Recipe
(see directions below). Remove 2 cups of starter and give 1 cup each
to two friends, with the recipe below attached.
There will be 1 cup of remaining starter. You can give this to a
third friend, or you can seal and freeze this 1 cup to use in the
future. Or continue the cycle of friendship bread. Since you have
your starter, cover loosely and store at room temperature. Start with
"Day 2" directions above tomorrow (day 11) and keep it going.
Preheat oven to 325F. Grease two 4x8" or 9x5" loaf pans with butter
or shortening. Sprinkle a bit of sugar in the pan and "sugar" it
(like you would flour a pan). Alternately, spay with cooking spray,
but do not sugar the pans if using cooking spray. (Note: you could
make one large loaf with this but it will take longer to bake and you
run the risk of a dark outside and a partially baked inside.)
Whisk baking soda, baking powder, salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and
flour in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Stir starter, oil, and 1 cup sugar with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Stir in eggs, 1 at a time, then stir in vanilla. Gently fold in dry
ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips or nuts, if using.
Divide batter between two loaf pans. Mix remaining 4 teaspoons sugar
and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of loaves.
Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool
before removing from pan.
