GLUTEN FREE FRIENDSHIP BREAD & STARTER RECIPE
Friendship bread is a long tradition of making a "starter" from yeast, flour, sugar, & milk, allowing it to ferment for 10 days, then passing it on to friends and family members to begin their own "starter" & make delicious breads. I Love doing this & sharing with friends, family, & church members, etc. My family Loves this...

- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste and texture of your bread.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
- Bake the bread at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Underbaked bread will be dense and gummy, while overbaked bread will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
