SOURDOUGH PANCAKES (AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD STARTER)
These are great pancakes made with Amish Friendship Bread Starter. I am always looking for new and creative ways to use my starter!!! These pancakes smell fabulous, and are a bit sweet with yeast flavors. I thought they were great with just butter on top. I sometimes add cinnamon or Apple Pie Spice and sub out apple butter for the oil. . .just an idea!

AMISH SOURDOUGH BREAD
Steps:
- 1. 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup oil 1 tsp salt 1 - 1/2 cups warm water 1 cup Amish friendship batter 6 cups bread flour or regular flour. (I use regular flour) Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Oil bottom & sides of large bowl & put bread dough in. Let stand overnight at room temperature. In morning, punch dough down 4-5 times and divide into 3 equal balls. Kneed each ball 8-10 times and put into 3 greased and floured loaf pans. Brush tops with oil and cover with oiled foil. Let stand 4-5 hours or all day. (If dough has not risen well, put small pan of water on bottom rack in oven, heat to 200 degrees, turn off oven. Put dough on top rack for 1-2 hours.) Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. (Cover with foil after lightly browned.)
Tips:
- Use a sourdough starter that is active and bubbly. A strong starter will help your bread rise properly and give it a tangy flavor.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help develop the gluten in the flour and give your bread a chewy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will allow the yeast to ferment the dough and produce carbon dioxide gas, which will cause the bread to rise.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help prevent the bread from tearing.
Conclusion:
Amish sourdough bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. With a little planning, you can have fresh, homemade sourdough bread on your table in no time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
