This is the recipe to make a base for many delicious types of bread. The possibilities for using this base are endless, and well worth the wait. The first batch of bread made with this base will be sweet, but the flavor will change as the base ages. This is a common recipe for traditional Amish friendship bread, which I learned this one from my sister.
Day 1
In a gallon size Ziploc bag, mix the following.
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
Leave on the counter, out of direct sunlight, mixing again once each day for the following 5 days.
Day 5
Add the following, and mix well.
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
Continue mixing daily for the next 5 days.
Day 10
Add the following and mix well.
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
Your Amish Friendship bread is now ready to use and divide to share with friends. To turn this into sourdough bread, reserve some base and continue the process again for 10 days. The longer you keep and maintain this base, the closer it will become to traditional sourdough bread.
