Amish Friendship Bread

Amish Friendship Bread - At first I thought she was trying to get me to be part of a bread chain letter. But I did take home a bag of goo.

As I mixed the goo and let out the air I read over the recipe. Not very Amish with instant pudding and a zip lock bag.

Okay day 10 arrived last night. Two nice loaves.

(Not my picture.)

So what was the verdict? This was a a whole lot of work (flour, milk, and sugar too) for something that tastes like Pound cake, or Smash cake, or coffee cake. It's not bread bread - its a sweet cake bread.

PS - This is a recipe that has been around for a very long time. It is not Amish. It is close to a German bread; Hermann-Teig. It is a variation of an old sour dough recipe.

Anyone want some starter bags?

(Should have baked it in a bunt cake pan.)
