Amish friendship bread (original starter recipe)

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
-Linda DiSanto, Austin, Texas
1 pack Active dry yeast
2½ cup Warm water
2 cups Sifted flour
1 tablespoon Sugar

Directions

Dissolve yeast in ½ cup of the warm water in a deep glass or plastic container. Stir in remaining warm water, flour and sugar. Beat until smooth. Cover with loose fitting cover. DO NOT REFRIGERATE! The starter requires 10 days for fermentation as follows: DAYS 1, 2, 3 and 4:... Stir batter DAY 5:................ Add 1 cup each milk, flour, sugar and stir DAYS 6, 7, and 8:..... Stir batter each day DAY 10: ............. Add 1 cup each flour, sugar, milk; stir.

The batter is ready to use.

This makes 3 cups batter to use in the recipes. If you want to you may pour 1 cup batter each into 3 containers and give 1 or 2 away.

(Seems to me that this will make more that three cups batter - perhaps it means 3 portions of batter?) Save 1 cup to begin process all over again OR you can use all 3 cups batter for the recipes at 1 time and when you want to bake these again just start the starter again.
