If someone has the starter...
Day 1 Label and date the gallon size storage bag
Day 2 Mush the bag
Day 3 Mush the bag
Day 4 Mush the bag
Day 5 Mush the bag
Day 6 Add 1 c flour, 1 c sugar, 1 c milk - Mush the bag to mix ingredients
Day 7 Mush the bag/burp as needed (let the air out)
Day 8 Mush the bag/burp as needed
Day 9 Mush the bag/burp as needed
Day 10 Baking Day

* Pour the entire bag into a non-metal mixing bowl
* Add 1 1/2 c milk, 1 1/2 c sugar, 1 1/2 c flour, mix well
* Measure out 1 c of batter into 4 separate gallon sized ziplock bags (should have 4 c missing from
your bowl). Give 3 bags to friends, keep one as a charger for your next batch.
* Preheat oven to 325*
* Add the following to the remaining batter:
* 3 eggs * 1 c oil * 1/2 c milk
* 1 c sugar * 2 t cinnamon * 1/2 t vanilla
* 1 1/2 t baking powder * 1/2 t baking soda * 1/2 t salt
* 2 c flour * 1 large box (or 2 small boxes) vanilla pudding

Grease 2 loaf pans. Mix additional 1 t cinnamon and ~1/4 c sugar in small bowl. Dust greased pans with 1/2 of the mixture. Pour batter into the pans. Sprinkle the rest of the sugar/cinnamon mixture on top.

Bake 1 hour or until done. It takes me 1 hour and 35 minutes in our gas oven. Cool bread loosens from the pan.

NOTE- if you keep a starter, you'll be making 2 loaves every 10 days. It makes great gifts and it freezes well. Freezing your starter bag works too, so you can do it when you are ready for the next batch. Good luck!
