Amish Friendship Bread - A Sweet Quick Bread

The Amish Friendship Bread bread known as sweet is a favorite of the family. It is a quick bread, meaning you do not need the bread can rise. This sweet sourdough starter recipe makes enough bread to bake your own loaf to share and quickly with two friends to a traditional recipe is something wrong with this.

Of all that I can find what the name "Amish" recipe is only added to the color to him. Certainly the idea that you make a dessert from scratch againand that you have a recipe and starter with friends is more traditional in our modern world. Perhaps that is why the "Amish" part seems to resonate: You can imagine the horse and cart people who share this bread-and-drop from a neighboring house on the Bounty.

The first starter is the Amish Friendship Bread recipe. Remember, as with any leaven, avoid metal spoons or bowls.
You will need:
1 package. Dry yeast
1 / 4 cup warm water
1 cup all-purposeFlour
1 cup white sugar
1 cup warm milk

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, mix the yeast in warm water for 10 minutes.

2. In a 2-liter glass or plastic container, combine 1 cup flour and 1 cup sugar. Use a whisk thoroughly.

3. Slowly warm milk and dissolved yeast mixture to the flour-sugar combo. Cover the mixture with a towel.

4. Plan for stirring the starter every day and feeding the starter every 5 days. If you feed him 1 cup eachFlour, sugar and milk.

I like a 5-day cycle baking. The traditional friendship bread has carved a 10-day cycle, that you think was in stone had. It is perfectly OK to bake bread more often. I like to have a cup of the starter recipe for my bread before I feed the starter. Also note that it is OK, half your starters amounts. I tend not to share my "friendship" bread (that's it?), I mean starter feed with 1 / 2 cup flour, sugar and milk.

If youready to bake, place a cup of starter in your mixing bowl.
Then add:
1 / 2 cup oil
3 eggs
1 / 2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 1 / 2 tsp. Cinnamon
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1 tsp. Baking powder
1 / 2 tsp. Baking powder

You can add nuts or raisins or other fruit on the dough.

The dough into two greased loaf pans and bake at 325 degrees for 40 minutes. When a knife comes out clean, you know it is done.

For a sweet gift, consider packinga loaf of bread with a recipe card and give it to a friend. I prefer this method for someone to surrender Ziploc bag of starter and a xeroxed copy of a recipe. If a friend asks starter - sour or sweet - I happily hand them over. But I think that has to be someone ready to have a starter in their lives. It's kind of like someone a puppy. Did you want a puppy? No? Well, what do you do?

Share a starter is fun, but more fun onewonderful quick bread. Have fun!
