MacKenzie: How timely -- this is the 10th day and I'm ready to start my Amish Bread. Here's the starter: In crock preferably mix 1 cup milk 1 cup sugar 1 cup flour Stir with wooden spoon, cover with plastic wrap and stir daily until day 5, add above proportions again. This gives you the 3 cups of starter to share with your friends. Continue stirring daily with wooden spoon until day 10. Remove 3 cups of starter for friends and use remainder with: 2/3 cups oil 2 cups flour 1 1/4/ tsp. baking powder 3 eggs (I use duck or goose eggs) 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2/ tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking soda Pour into 2 well greased and sugared loaf pans. Also works well with 1 large and 3 small loaf pans. Bake 40-50 min. at 350 degrees. Cool 10 min. before removing from pans. Be sure and give recipe to your friends when you give them their 1 cup of starter. Enjoy and have fun!!!!
