So what is it, really? Basically it’s a “quick” bread made with a sourdough starter. You grow the starter on your counter for 10 days, stirring it and feeding it and loving on it, and then at the end of 10 days you make the most amazing bread with it.
Then, because it’s so friendly, you share 2 cups of the starter with two friends and keep a cup growing on your counter for next time.
Then, 10 days after that, you do the same thing. And again and again to infinity.
Or, you can give it all away after 10 days…or freeze it for next time a craving hits.
You see, that’s what happened to me. All of a sudden I wanted Amish Friendship Bread. I had not had a bite of it in 25 years and one day last month I neeeeeeded a slice. But what’s a girl to do when she wants the bread but doesn’t have the starter?
Make her own, of course.
