Amish Friendship Bread is a fun bread made from a starter and passed along! It's the zucchini bread of the winter. So delish!

Love this bread, it is so easy and good. I also made this into Pistachio Nut muffins. I used Pistachio instant pudding, almond extract, and a half cup of sunflower seeds. and baked for twenty five minutes and they turned out scrumptious!
How to make starter plz..Thx
Definitely! We've got a link in the post to the starter, but it's so easy to overlook those. Here's the post on how to make the starter: https://www.coffeewithus3.com/amish-friendship-bread-starter/
I hope you enjoy it!
Yum! When I was growing up my mom always had "herman" around for pancakes and coffee cakes. I never thought to make a bread with it. When it gets a bit cooler I think I will have to make some starter again to keep through the winter! Thanks for reminding me 🙂
Enie, I shared about the starter in a previous post. http://coffeewithus3.blogspot.com/2013/08/amish-friendship-bread-starter.html It is similar to sour dough starter. You allow the yeast to work and do its thing for 10 days before using it to make your bread.
Excuse my ignorance, but what is starter?
Looks yummy!
It's been years since I had this bread. Thanks for reminding me...it was always so yummy! 🙂
Hope you're getting settled in...moving is no fun.
