Hey all, I know a lot to post today, but I thought if you were interested, I could give you starters and the directions for this really good bread. If you live out of town, I will send you a loaf! Just let me know if you are interested!
Here are the directions :
(so you can see what has to be done if you are interested)
AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD:
Important:
Do not use any type of metal spoon or bowl for mixing. Do not refrigerate. If air gets in the bag, let it out. It is normal for batter to rise, bubble, and ferment.
Day 1: Do nothing(this is the day you recieve the batter or the first date on the bag)
Days 2-5: Mush the bag.
Day 6: add to the bag:
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
Close the bag then mush it until the sugar is disolved.
Days 7-9: mush the bag
Day 10: pour the entire contents of the bag into a non metal bowl and add 1 1/2 cups each of flour, sugar, and milk. Mix. measure out 4 seperate batters of 1 cup each and put them in 4 one gallon iploc bags. These are "Starters". Keep a starter for yourself and give the other three to friends along with the copy of the recipe. Date the starter bags with the first date so if they are not passed along on day one, then your friend will know which day they are on.
Preheat the oven to 325.
Add to the remaining batter:
3 eggs
1 cup oil
1/2 cup milk
1 cup sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups flour
1 large box instant vanilla pudding
grease 2 large loaf pans and mix additional 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon
dust the greased pan with half the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
pour the batter evenly into the 2 pans and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar on top.
bake for 1 hour. cool until bread loosens from pans (10 minutes)
Note: if you keep a starter for yourself, you will be baking every 10 days. Only the amish know how to create a "starter" so if you give them all away, you will have to wait until someone gives you back one.
Enjoy!
Let me know if you are interested in having any of the loafs or if you want a starter! I am compiling a list of people to do the starters to, so I may have a waiting list, but I will get you yours as soon as possible. I can't start them for about 10 days because Polly is in the middle of getting through her list to me as well!
