Amish Friendship Bread Starter instructions
- Place warm water and yeast in small bowl. Let set for 10 minutes..
- In a 2 quart bowl, needs to be glass or plastic. Do Not use metal bowl or spoon. Mix one cup flour with one cup sugar, mix well. Then add one cup milk slowly and keep stirring, until mixed well.
- Add in the yeast mixture and mix well..
- You can cover the bowl and leave on counter. I put mine in gallon size plastic resealable bag. This is day 1.
- On days 2, 3, and 4 stir if left in bowl. I knead the plastic bag and burp the bag. Open and let air out. Reseal.

- Sorry had to do two separate recipes, don't know how to put them together..
Making the Amish Friendship Bread Starter. The starter is from an era when people made time to produce good food and maintained good friendships. An Amish Friendship Bread starter is a little bit like a chain letter in bread form. Except that no one likes chain letters, and everyone loves Amish Friendship Bread. You mix up a little yeast, flour, sugar, and milk in your kitchen, and after a few days you have enough of a sweet sourdough starter to share.
