Categories: Breads
Yield: 1 Loaf

MMMMM--------------------------STARTER-------------------------------
2 1/4 ts Env active dry yeast
1/4 c Warm water (105ºF/40ºC)
3 c A-P flour; divided
3 c Whole milk; divided
3 c Sugar; divided

MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
2 tb Brown sugar
1/2 ts Cinnamon

MMMMM---------------------------BREAD--------------------------------
2 c A-P flour
1 c Sugar
3 3/8 oz Box instant vanilla pudding
- powder
2 ts Cinnamon
1 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Salt
2 lg Eggs
1 c Amish friendship starter
3/4 c Buttermilk
1/2 c Oil
1/3 c Whole milk
1 ts Vanilla extract

CREATE THE STARTER: You can skip this step if someone
has given you a cup of starter.

In a container made of glass, glazed ceramic or plastic,
dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit for 10 minutes.
Then, add 1 cup each of sugar, flour and milk. Stir
well, cover loosely with cling wrap and set aside at
room temperature.

Once a day on days two through five, stir the starter.

On the sixth day, feed your starter 1 cup each of sugar,
flour and milk. Stir well.

Once a day on days seven through nine, stir the starter.

On day 10, feed your starter again with 1 cup each of
sugar, flour and milk. You will use 1 cup in the recipe.
You can give the other two cups to two friends (along
with a copy of this recipe!), keep one cup for next time
and give one cup to a friend, or use all three cups to
bake three loaves and give two away. The key is to gift
some of what you’ve made: That’s what makes this
"friendship" bread.

PREPARE PAN AND TOPPING: Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

Grease and flour loaf pan. Using your fingers or a fork,
combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

MIX DRY INGREDIENTS: In a large bowl, whisk together
flour, sugar, pudding powder, cinnamon, baking powder,
baking soda and salt.

MIX WET INGREDIENTS: Crack eggs into a medium bowl and
whisk until combined. Add Amish friendship starter,
buttermilk, canola oil, milk and vanilla extract. Mix
with whisk or wooden spoon until uniform.

COMBINE WET & DRY INGREDIENTS: Pour wet ingredients into
dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being
careful not to overmix. Pour mixture into greased and
floured loaf pan. Smooth top of batter with a wooden
spoon or spatula. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.

BAKE, COOL AND SERVE: Bake on center rack of oven, 45 to
55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove
from oven and cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove
from pan and cool completely on wire rack before slicing
and serving.
