Time P10DT1h

Yield 1 loaf, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (2 1/2 ounce) package active dry yeast
2 1/2 cups warm water
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup oil
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3 eggs
1 (6 ounce) box vanilla pudding mix or 2 (3 ounce) boxes vanilla pudding mix

1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Starter:.
  • Dissolve yeast in 1 cup of the warm water. Stir in remaining warm water, flour and sugar, beat until smooth. Place in a glass bowl on the countertop and do not refrigerate. Cover with plastic wrap.
  • After the starter has fermented for 10 days, you're ready to begin the next 10 days.

  • Day 2: Stir.

  • Bread:.
  • After all 10 days are completed, put 1 cup of the starter in four separate containers.
  • Give three to your friends and keep one for yourself to bake with later. You can give the starters in Ziplock bags, but make sure your friends "burp" the bag each day to keep excess air out.
  • When you give the starter to them, they're ready to begin the Day 1 instructions immediately.
  • Next, when you're ready to bake the bread, add the Bread ingredients to 1 cup of the starter.
  • Add and beat the bread ingredients by hand until well blended. If desired, add one cup raisins, nuts or chocolate chips.
  • Grease two loaf pans and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 325 degrees for one hour or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
  • Variations:.
  • If you'd like to try a different recipe, replace the cinnamon and vanilla pudding with one of the following: poppy seeds and lemon pudding, chocolate pudding and mini chocolate chips or banana pudding and chopped walnuts.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Follow the recipe carefully: Amish Friendship Bread is a delicate bread, so it's important to follow the recipe exactly. This will ensure that the bread turns out light and fluffy.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always produce the best results. This is especially true for the lemon juice and zest in this recipe.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense bread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the bread rise in a warm place: The bread needs to rise in a warm place in order to double in size. A sunny windowsill or a warm oven (turned off) are both good options.
  • Bake the bread at the correct temperature: The bread should be baked at a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the bread cooks evenly and doesn't burn.
  • Serve the bread warm: Amish Friendship Bread is best served warm. You can slather it with butter, cream cheese, or your favorite jam or jelly.

Amish Friendship Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion.
