1 tablespoon Active Dry Yeast

1 cup Flour

For Amish Friendship Bread Starter:
Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup of the warm water in a deep glass container. Stir
in remaining warm water, flour and sugar. Beat until smooth. Cover. A large
glass jar or bowl with a tight fitting lid works best for this. Because your
first batch of starter contains fresh yeast, you can skip the next set of
directions and go directly to the instructions for splitting your start.
Do not refrigerate! Do not stir with a metal spoon! The starter requires 10
days for fermentation.

I've been looking for a starter recipe for this fabulous bread! Thanks for posting!
I bought a loaf of this bread at a flea market sale today and my whole family just loves it! Thanks for the recipe :)
I just received a starter bag today from my best friend! I hope to get it back when school starts so i can share it with my class.
All you need for a starter is 1/3 cup each of flour, milk, sugar. I've been making this for years. You don't need any yeast whatsoever. Try it! It's really amazing :-)
I have also been looking for this recipe for years, I was given it years ago by friends and made it often and shared often then one day we all stopped due to who knows what. Now I am looking forward to sharing it with my daughters who are now into thier own places and baking and families! very exciting times ahead. Thanks for sharing :)
When do you add the cup of milk to the starter? It' mentions the yeast water, sugar and flour but the milk is forgotten. It would seem very liquidy after adding 2 cups of water and a cup of milk?
Does anyone know the measurements to add if you only want to keep 1 starter for yourself? My friends are getting tired of me giving them one and I really don't want to waste the extra batter and/or ingredients if I don't have to add as much.
thanks!
