Friendship Bread

I love this bread! Its also known as Amish bread. It is my all time favorite bread to make in the fall and winter months. It takes a little bit of time... but its always worth the wait! I'm not sure who's recipe this is, so I cant give them credit.... but we all love it!

First things first:

Do not use metal bowls, or spoons.
Do not refrigerate.
If air gets into the bag, let it out.
It is normal for batter to thicken and ferment.

Directions:

1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk. Place all 3 ingredients into zip lock plastic bag. Gallon size is good. Squeeze the bad (make sure its closed) and mix the 3 ingredients good. then let it sit. No touchy.

Day 2-5 Squeeze the bag several times.

Day 6 Add to bag; 1 cup each flour, milk and sugar. Squeeze to mix.

Day 7- 9 Squeeze bag several times.

Day 10 Add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk. Stir. Take out 3 cups and place 1 cup each into three separate plastic zip lock baggies. Give one cup and a copy of this recipe to three friends. To the balance (a little over one cup) of the batter, add the following ingredients and mix well.



1 cup oil
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp Baking soda
3 eggs
1 large box of vanilla instant pudding
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon.

Preheat oven to 325. Grease 2 loaf pans well or you can use 1 bunt pan and sprinkle the bottom of what ever you use with Cinnamon and sugar before pouring the batter in. Pour in batter in and bake for 1 hour or until done and enjoy!

You can also keep the extre starters and just make extra loves and give them as gifts!
