Amish Friendship Bread is a fun bread made from a starter and passed along! It’s the zucchini bread of the winter. So delish!
Amish Friendship Bread is the quick bread that everyone loves. I had a friend say it’s the quick bread of the winter. She meant that we all love Zucchini Bread in the summer and fall, but when you don’t have zucchini you can make Amish Friendship Bread.
Are you thinking I’d like to make this bread but I don’t have starter for it. I’ve got you covered. You can just come to my house. I’m just kidding. I have a recipe for you to make your own starter. It’s actually pretty easy.
There are lots of options for making Amish Friendship Bread. This recipe is the classic bread. Want more ideas for recipes? The Friendship Bread Kitchen website has more than you could ever imagine.

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.
