Last Christmas, a friend of my family gave us a starter for Amish Friendship Bread. You have to let the starter ferment in a plastic bag. Then, after 10 days you can mix the starter with sugar, flour, raisins, and all of that good stuff. You then bake the bread. I made the bread with low expectations because I had never made bread before and I wasn't sure if I had made it correctly. Boy, was I wrong! The bread was MOIST and SUGARY and DELICIOUS! And it stayed that way for at least a week; it didn't get hard or gross after a couple of days like some pastries. I got a lot of complements on the bread, but the best thing was getting to eat something soooo good that I had actually made. Making the bread isn't hard at all, it's actually kinda fun! Posted are two links to show you how to make the starter and then the bread itself. Give it a try, it's a great treat! And making it showed me to have faith in all things that I do to because "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13). Send me a note if you make the bread, I'd love to know how it came out and how you liked it. Pass the recipe on to friends and family. Have a blessed day.

Hi Juana,
Thank you for the recipe. I am going to try it with my daughters. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Blessings,

A coworker gave me a starter bag for this bread and I was sooo addicted to it! My dad was so upset when I quit making it. :)
