I received this amazing recipe from my sister-in-law, Michelle. I was over at her house the other day making a wedding video for my sister and she had this YUMMY bread sitting there in her kitchen. I kid you not when I say I easily downed half a loaf myself…it was SO good! I asked her for the recipe and she told me it was an “Amish Friendship Bread” that you pass out to your friends and let them finish the starter bag you made for them. I love the entire concept of it! I am not sure where the recipe originates from, but this is the one my sister-in-law gave me and it really is SO GOOD! It has the bread consistency of zucchini or banana bread (really moist) and just the right amount of sweet! I have also included a printable version for you so you can print off some copies and give them out to your friends when you hand out your starters!Have so much fun and pass it along! This is a fun thing to do with neighbors, family, and friends!
Day 1: Do nothing. This is the date on which you receive the bag. Squish-squash-mush the bag. Make sure the bag is dated!
Day 10: BAKING DAY! Mix and divide the starter as follows:Pour entire contents of bag into large non-metal bowl and add: 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk.

Susieqtpies Cafe: Amish Friendship Bread
A few months ago, my Mom gave me a ziplock bag of Amish Friendship Bread Starter. Believe it or not, this was the first time I had heard of Amish Friendship Bread. I took the bag home and squished and fed it. When it was baking day, I whipped up a batch and it was amazing!
I know most of you are all like “I don’t want to fool with a sourdough starter”. I totally understand. It can be a hassle. The good thing about this starter recipe is that it freezes well. You can also opt to just make all the bread instead of keeping the starter alive. I like to give homemade gifts to friends and neighbors. This Amish Friendship Bread makes a great holiday gift. You will get 10 loaves of bread with one batch of starter (if you don’t save any to keep feeding). I think it is totally worth the 10 days of squishing and feeding to get 10 presents knocked out.Everyone I have given this bread to has loved it!
This bread is very easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. The only problem is that this is a 10-day process. You need to plan ahead when making this recipe. Don’t worry, this isn’t a 10 days hands-on process. It is mostly hands-off.

To make the starter recipe, in a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water for 10 minutes. Stir well. In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour and sugar. Mix thoroughly. Stir in the milk and yeast mixture. Pour the starter into a ziploc bag. Date the ziploc bag so you know what day is “Day 1”. Store the bag on the kitchen countertop at room temperature.
To make the bread, in a small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon. Spray 2 loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray. Dust the pans with half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Set aside. In a large glass bowl, add 1 cup of starter, egg, oil, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, salt, all-purpose flour, and instant pudding mix. Mix well. Pour the batter into greased loaf pans. Top with remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake for 1 hour, or until a wooden pick comes out clean.
This coffee cake is absolutely DELICIOUS! I like to refer to this recipe as an edible chain letter since you are forwarding the starter on to more people. Now, don’t worry if you don’t want to keep the starter going. Just freeze it for later or toss it. No biggie! You can always make a new starter.

The bread is super soft and moist and packed full of cinnamon sugar flavor. We love this one-bowl, no-rise, quick bread recipe. Our favorite way to eat this bread is slightly warm with honey butter.

You can freeze the starter instead of giving the bags away. Just thaw and start by adding the ingredients for the bread.Amish Friendship Bread is all about friendships and community. It’s about connection. It’s about fun. It’s about nurturing other people, including yourself. It’s about not taking anything too seriously, but to find the simple joy and pleasure in every moment.
If you were to look up Amish Friendship Bread on Wikipedia, you’d find this: “Amish Friendship Bread is a type of bread or cake made from a sourdough starter that is often shared in a manner similar to a chain letter. The starter is a substitute for baking yeast and can be used to make many kinds of yeast-based breads, shared with friends, or frozen for future use.”
If you were to ask a real live person who has made Amish Friendship Bread, you might hear something like this: “It’s a gloopy substance in a bag that you mash for ten days before baking the most heavenly bread in the world.”

— but with no threats or negative repercussions if you choose not to make it. At the end of the ten days, you divide it into four portions, bake with one, and give the other three away. This usually hums along nicely for the first cycle or two, but eventually people will start running in the other direction if you keep showing up on their doorstep with a fresh batch of starter (kidding/not kidding). The good news is you can freeze your starter, but more on that later. Let’s get your starter going!
Amish Friendship Bread starter is essentially a sweet sourdough starter with a lactobacillus culture. Because there’s so much sugar in most Amish Friendship Bread recipes, the result is sweet, slightly tangy twist. Like most sourdough starters, Amish Friendship Bread can literally be passed around indefinitely; in fact, the longer it has been around, the better.
If you ask around, chances are you’ll find somebody you know with an Amish Friendship Bread starter to share (exercise good judgment if accepting a starter from someone you do not know). Shared starters are always my favorite because the flavor is unique to the people who’ve added a bit of their kitchen to yours. I was gifted one from 1987 and it’s one of my favorites.

As long as you continue to feed your starter, it can stay at room temperature indefinitely. One of the wonderful things about the starter is that you can bake almost anything with it.
I always recommend that people first go through the 10-Day cycle with their starter and bake the original recipe first. From there, you can go almost anywhere, but it’s important to learn how the starter behaves and what the recipe should taste like. Every kitchen and every starter is different, and you can always look at the Learn area of the website for help.
NOTE: Do not refrigerate starter. It is normal for the batter to rise and ferment. If air gets in the bag, let it out.
