The other day I was at my daughter-in-law's home. She had little plastic bags of dough on her table, and a couple of loaves of freshly baked bread on the bread board.
This is not normal bread dough, it's more like batter. It's called Amish Friendship Bread. The loaves of bread aren't like sandwich bread. This is a dessert bread.
The idea behind Amish friendship bread is much like the yeast starter that is passed around from homemaker to homemaker.
Of course, I now have my own batch of starter. Oh wait. No! It's been several days since I first received my baggy of dough. Now I have several batches of starter to pass out to my friends! That stuff grows in Ziploc bags right there on my kitchen counter. While the loaves are baking, the house smells amazing.
My Amish bread batter came with directions to make Amish friendship bread. You can find the copy I have on this website: Amish Friendship Starter Dough. The instructions are simple and very easy to follow along day by day.
I would like to know how to start a starter? I have had this in the past and would like to start it again. It is my sons favorite bread.
