EASY & QUICK AMISH BREAD
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..

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.

QUICK AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD OR MUFFINS (NO STARTER REQUIRED)
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!

Steps:
- Mix "starter" ingredients together.
- Mix oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla with the "starter".
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, vanilla pudding mix, and nuts.
- Add to liquid mixture and stir thoroughly.
- Pour into two large well-greased 9x5 inch loaf pans, one Bundt pan, or 48 muffin tins.
- Bake at 325F for one hour or until done (muffins will take only 30-35 minutes) and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help the bread rise evenly.
- Check the bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done.
- Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
