I have a friend who has wanted this recipe sooooo bad. I have frozen the starter bag and started it up later because I couldn't find the recipe. I didn't know if it was a secret. Is there a print function that you know of or do I just copy from your post and past it into Word on my hard drive? Thank-you again.

WE used to make these all the time!!

I'd just cut and paste

thanks I have been looking for this recipe

Thanks so much for the recipe. We used to make this all the time, but finally lost the 'starter' and then didn't know how to start a new batch. So thanks again, I can't wait to make this delightful bread and share the recipe with my daughters,granddaughters and friends.

i have starter saved in freezer.. if i have more then one starter i just use in recipe right away.. if i have only one left then i remake starter and throw the rest in the freezer when it's time to divide it up again !! i never run out ! i have many recipes to use this starter for.. endless

I used to make this years ago. My dd just made some a few weeks ago and it was great. She lost the starter so this will help.

I used to make it several different ways and not just cinnamon.

Apple with raisins.
Blueberry
Banana
Chocolate chip....

Use your imagination!

I've got a batch proofing right now and always keep starter in my freezer. This bread is the best!

Is it ready yet?????? :shock:
