QUICK AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD OR MUFFINS (NO STARTER REQUIRED)



Quick Amish Friendship Bread or Muffins (No Starter Required) image

I love this bread and I had a craving for it, but didn't want to wait the month it took for the starter to be ready, so, I modified it a bit. It might not be quite as tasty as the original, but it's great if you want it in a hurry! I like to use butterscotch pudding for a different, but really nice flavor! Hope you enjoy!

EASY & QUICK AMISH BREAD



Easy & Quick Amish Bread image

I have had this recipe for at least 10 years, it was given to my by my mom after i got married but i just started making this about a year ago when i got pregnant with my second child and only wanted fresh homemade baked bread.. this bread is awesome. I make at least 4 loaves a week for my family. It is the simplest bread recipe i have and the tastiest . 1 loaf is usually gone hours after it comes out of the oven. Now here is the thing I am NOT avid baker, if its too complicated i screw it up, so this recipe in my book is fool proof..... If you make it and it doesn't come out.. you did something out of order ,... it is not the recipe.... follow the mixing directions exactly.. good baking and enjoy..

Yield 2 loafs, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups warm water, 105-115 F degrees
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil or 1/4 cup unsalted butter
6 cups bread flour, I use white bleached it works fine

Steps:

  • I use a mixer with a dough hook but it is just as easy to mix by hand if you don't have one.
  • Proof the dough in a warm draft free place, I turn the stove on warm (150 F) when the yeast is proofing the turn off when I add the flour.
  • ==============================.
  • In your mixer bowl pour warm water and sugar, stir until sugar is dissolved.
  • After sugar dissolves stir in yeast and allow the yeast to proof until yeast gets to a creamy foamy state. about 5-10 minutes max. depending on how warm the water is.
  • After yeast proofs mix in oil and salt into the yeast.
  • mix in flour 1 cup at a time, after all four has been mixed(6c.) it it will still be a little sticky. do not add more flour to the mixer.
  • Turn bread out onto a well floured surface an knead until smooth .
  • Place dough in a well oiled bowl and turn dough to coat with oil.
  • Cover bowl with a damp cloth/towel and allow dough to rise in a warm place and double in size. about 1 hour.
  • After dough doubled punch center down and tun onto your floured surface again an knead for a few minutes, and then divide the dough n 1/2 and shape into loaves .
  • Place the 2 loaves in well oiled bread pans and let rise a second time for about 30-45 minutes, until dough rises about 1-2 inches above the pans. If you happen to forget about them an they rise higher , no harm you just will have a bigger loaf.
  • I proof them in the oven the then just turn the heat on.
  • Bake a 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

Yield 1 loaf, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (2 1/2 ounce) package active dry yeast

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.

  • 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:.

  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a sourdough starter that is active and bubbly. This will ensure that your bread rises properly.
  • Proof the bread dough in a warm place. This will help the dough to rise and develop flavor.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will give the bread a crispy crust and a tender crumb.
  • Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.

Amish quick bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover sourdough starter, and it can be made with a variety of different ingredients.
