AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD (Original Starter Recipe), Linda DiSanto, Austin,
Texas

Dissolve yeast in One half cup of the warm water in a deep glass or plastic
container. Stir in remaining warm water, flour and sugar. Beat until
smooth. Cover with loose fitting cover. DO NOT REFRIGERATE! The starter
requires 10 days for fermentation as follows:

DAYS 1, 2, 3 and 4: Stir batter

DAY 5: Add 1 cup each milk, flour, sugar and stir

DAYS 6, 7, and 8: Stir batter each day

DAY 10: Add 1 cup each flour, sugar, milk; stir.

The batter is ready to use. This makes 3 cups batter to use in the
recipes. If you want to you may put 1 cup batter each into 3 containers and
give 1 or 2 away. Save 1 cup to begin process all over again OR you can use
all 3 cups batter for the recipes at 1 time and when you want to bake these
again just start the starter again.
