Nancy, wish we lived closer. I now have 4 starter bags to give away & I'd give you one. Well, now that I think about it, I wonder if I could mail it????? It's not refridgerated and you would have until thursday or friday to add the next set of ingredients. Hmmmmm! Well anyways, the pudding mix isn't until you do the final baking 10 days later.

Could you post the recipe please?-Nancy

I honestly don't think you can just start it with a recipe. I think someone has to give you a start. When someone gives you a start and you finish it to make your bread, you then have 4 starts to give to someone.

I found this on the internet about 6 months ago & made it from start to finish. I was very good. With this latest batch someone gave it to me in a 1 gallon zip lock bag & it made the whole process easier to do rather then putting it in a glass bowl. Enjoy!

Amish Friendship Bread Starter
This is the Amish Friendship Bread Starter Recipe that you’ll need to make the Amish Friendship Bread. It is very important to use plastic or wooden utensils and plastic or glass containers when making this. Do not use metal at all!
Ingredients:
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110°F)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 cup warm milk (110°F)
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water for about 10 minutes. Stir well.
2. In a 2 quart glass or plastic container, combine 1 cup sifted flour and 1 cup sugar. Mix thoroughly or the flour will get lumpy when you add the milk.
3. Slowly stir in warm milk and dissolved yeast mixture. Loosely cover the mixture with a lid or plastic wrap. (Or put in 1 gallon Ziplock Bag) The mixture will get bubbly. Consider this Day 1 of the cycle.
For the next 10 days handle starter according to the instructions below for Amish Friendship Bread.

Required Main Ingredient 1 cup live yeast (already in starter kit)
day 1: Do nothing with the starter.
days 2-5: Stir with a wooden spoon. (Or squeeze the mixture if you have it in a 1 gallon Ziplock bag)

days 7-9:Stir with a wooden spoon. (Or squeeze bag to mix)
Day 10: Add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk. Stir.
Take out 3 cups and place 1 cup each into three separate plastic containers. Give one cup of batter in a 1 gallon ziplock bag and a copy of this recipe to three friends.To the remaining portion (a little over one cup) of the batter,add the following ingredients and mix well.

oh gosh, i'm not a cook and definitely not a baker. A neighbor gave me the starter Amish Friendship bread. I followed the sheet she gave me exact except for one thing It said sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture. Well i sprinkled and i used the remaining sugar mixture but my loafs looked coated with sugar on the top. I'm guessing i should have just sprinkled a little of the sugar mixture and then thrown the rest of the remaining mixture away?

While i have your attention, i might as well ask another question. Is it correct that i give the starters to my friends and then they follow the recipe from the top of the recipe that has them mush mush the doe for 10 days and then they add all the stuff again?

Thanks,

Misty
