I want to make a starter for friendship bread, and I have a recipe, but I haven't made this before and I have a question. The recipe doesn't say WHERE to leave it while it does whatever it does. Do I leave it out on the counter or put it in the frig?
Thanks- Kim in NC |

I have two different recipes for the starter...one with yeast and one without. Does anyone know which one works better?

My Gramma used to make a great Amish Friendship bread, would anyone like to post a recipe for me? My brother loved it! She used to send a loaf to him when he was at college and I would love to start making it for him when he gets back from his deployment in about 10 days or so. Detailed and extra advice is very appreciated with a recipe, I have never made a bread with "starter". Thanks Gals!! ~Liz |

I've only used the one without yeast and yes left it on the counter to do it's "thing".

don't be nervous about the starter, its really very simple. Here is a sample to use if you want. 1 package active dry yeast 1/4 cup warm water 3 cups flour (divided) use 1 cup at a time 3 cups white sugar (divided) 3 cups milk disolve yeast in warm water to proof about 10 minutes or so use a 2 quart container of glass or ceramic to combine everything in. so combine 1 cup flour, 1 cup of sugar & mix well so flour doesnt lump when you pour in the milk. Now SLOWLY stir 1 cup of milk and the yeast mixture. Cover loosly and let it stand until it gets bubbly. THIS IS DAY 1 DAY 2-4 just stir it once, maybe twice but thats all you need to so. DAY 5 stir in 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup of milk DAY 6 to 9 stir only Day 10 stir in 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar & 1 cup of milk remove 1 cup of starter to make your first bread, give 2 cups away to friends. The 1 cup you have left, store in fridge or start all over again.
