Amish Friendship Bread

This is one of the best Friendship Bread recipes I have tried. It tastes like a cinnamon pound cake or coffee cake. My children love it and enjoy for breakfast with fruit.

For the instructions on baking and taking care of your starter, click here.

For those of you who feel guilt about having extra starter or don't know know who to share the bread with, you can always stop the starter: On day 10, simply skip the step of adding 1 1/2 cups each flour, sugar and milk and dividing between four batches. Move on to the instructions for baking the bread using the single starter you have. You will then be done with the starter and done with the chain.

*I make mine with white whole wheat flour, skim milk and extra virgin olive oil because that is what I have in my pantry. It tastes phenomenal and is an adaptive recipe. I've also made it with egg beaters instead of eggs and it still turns out just fine. This way, I don't feel so badly about eating it for breakfast : )
