Yield Makes 2 loaves and 3 starters

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 cups all-purpose flour
4 3/4 cups sugar
3 1/2 cups milk
1 cup vegetable oil or 1/2 cup vegetable oil and 1/2 cup applesauce
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Steps:

  • To prepare starter: Place 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup milk in a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Seal bag and knead mixture until well combined. Let stand at room temperature overnight.
  • For the next 4 days, continue kneading mixture once a day; keep at room temperature. On the sixth day add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup milk to bag. Seal and knead to combine; let stand at room temperature overnight.
  • For the next 3 days, knead mixture twice a day. On the 10th day, transfer mixture to a large bowl. Add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup milk; mix until well combined. Measure 1 cup of the mixture into each of 3 resealable plastic bags. Seal plastic bags and give each bag of starter mixture to a friend to make their own friendship bread.
  • To make bread: Preheat oven to 330 degrees. Add oil to bowl with remaining starter mixture along with eggs, remaining 1/2 cup milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined; set aside.
  • In another large bowl, mix together remaining 2 cups flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, salt, baking soda, pudding, and nuts, if desired. Add dry ingredients to starter mixture and stir until well combined. Divide batter evenly between two 8-by-4-by-2 1/2-inch loaf pans.

Tips:

  • Follow the recipe carefully: Amish Friendship Bread is a delicate recipe, and it's important to follow the instructions carefully to ensure success.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the bread will taste. Use high-quality butter, milk, and flour.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the bread rise in a warm place: The bread needs to rise in a warm place to double in size. A warm oven or a sunny windowsill are both good options.
  • Bake the bread until it's golden brown: The bread is done baking when it's golden brown on top. Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread; if it comes out clean, the bread is done.

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