Steps to make Amish Friendship Bread & Starter:

1. DAY 1: - 1. Make the starter: Stir yeast into warm water. Allow mix to sit for 10 minutes to fully "bloom" - 2. Whisk sugar & flour in a 2 qt container. Whisk in milk, and be sure to stir the corners well, so the flour doesn't clump and get stuck to the bottom. - 3. Stir yeast mixture into the flour mixture. Cover container & store on your counter.
2. Days 2-4 : stir the mixture once per day
3. Day 5: - - 1. Feed the mixture: Stir in 1 cup of each:; sugar, flour & milk into the starter. (To make this part easier, I just separated my sugar & flour in sandwich bags for both feedings & measured my milk as needed) Cover loosely & store back on the counter.
4. Days 6-9: stir the mixture once per day
5. Day 10: LAST FEEDING DAY - - 1. Feed the mixture: Stir 1 cup of each (sugar, flour & milk into starter). Cover loosely & store on the counter. - - 2. Remove 1 cup of the starter for yourself for the Amish friendship bread recipe. Then remove the remaining 3 cups to give to 3 friends with the recipe attached (or you can freeze the remaining starter in a sealed Ziploc bags for future use)
6. FRIENDSHIP BREAD RECIPE: I took a screenshot of the recipe instructions, it wouldn't let me save the typed information.
7. I garnished my Bread with a quick chocolate ganache, as well as adding butterscotch & chocolate chips to my batter. Soo yummy!!! 😋
8. Also, a quick tip, so you don't lose track of your days : get an index card, tape it to your container & write the date you 1st prepared the starter & then list all the days after that: for example, I began my Starter on April 22nd, so this is how I did it: - - Day 1: 4/22/16 - Days 2-4: 4/23-4/25 Stir Mixture once per day - Day 5: 4/26 (Feed mixture one cup of each Flour, Sugar & Milk) - - And so on… That's how I was able to keep up with my dates, I know it's easy to lose track of the days, so I hope this helps..
