Amish Friendship Bread
Day 1: Receive starter from a friend.
Day 2-5: Mush closed bag twice a day.
Day 6: Add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup milk. Mush bag.
Day 7-9: Mush bag and release air twice a day.
Day 10: Add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup milk. This is the day you make your bread.
First measure three 1 cup starters and put them in three separate bags. Save one for yourself and give the other two to friends.
Pour remaining batter into a large bowl and add the following ingredients:
1 cup oil
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 large box instant vanilla pudding
Mix ingredients well. In a bowl, mix together 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1/2 cup sugar. Grease two loaf pans. Pour batter into loaf pans, and sprinkle top with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake at 35o degrees for 40-50 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans. This does really well in the freezer.
If you are starting the bread yourself combine 1 cup milk, 1 cup flour, and 1 cup sugar in a zip-top bag and squeeze it together until mixed in. This is day 1. Leave overnight on counter at room temp.

My neighbor gave me a starter on the 12th so I am just 1/2 way through the process, can't wait to taste it. Now I can give some starter packs to some of my quilting friends at my next meeting because it should be ready to pass out by then.

I made this as Christmas gifts this past year and everyone who got them just loved them. My 2 sons kept sneaking loaves out of the freezer. I kept two bags of starter and put them in the freezer. I took one out and let it defrost at room temperature and it worked beautifully!

Does anyone have the recipe for sourdough pancakes? I used to have a sheet with soudough recipes, but the ones I always made were the biscuits and pancakes. Yummy!
