Amish Friendship Bread
Someone gave me a bag of goop the other day with a set of instructions. “Um, thanks?” I thought at the time. But I was willing to give it a shot.
The bag was the starter mixture for a fermented bread called Amish Friendship Bread, something akin to sourdough.
The instructions indicated mushing up the bag each day for 10 days and then adding the rest of the ingredients before baking. Alrighty then — I’ll give it a go. I faithfully mushed my bag each day and added ingredients to quadruple the mixture half way through as indicated. Later research confirmed that you can skip this step if you don’t want to end up with three more bags of starter at the end of the process. read more »
