Here's my version of the recipe, received with a starter that has so
much sugar it seems to be all yeast and no bacteria; my starter is
still going after two years in my care. I'd be will to try to dry it
if anyone wants.
Starter care instructions omitted...
"Amish Friendship Bread"
1 cup starter
2/3 cup oil
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Mix listed ingredients -- I'd sift the dry ingredients together first,
but the original sheet doesn't say to.
You may top with candied fruit, nuts, or apple slices before baking.
Pour into 2 well greased sugared loaf pans. Bake 40 to 50 minutes at
350 degrees. Cool ten minutes before removing from pan.

Dave,
I've kept most/all of the sourdough recipes posted to both
the net and the sourdough/bread machine groups. However,
they are on UNIX, so I've got macros included in the files.
I've culled the Amish starter recipes from my file and taken
out the macros and formatted them for readability. I take
no responsibility on how the recipes turn out, I've not
tried any of them. But.....here they are.

AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD STARTER
John D. Holder, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque
I have made friendship bread several times with a gift
starter, and I have a pretty good guess as to how to make
one. This is slightly different than most sourdough-type
starters. I would either dissolve one package of dry active
yeast in a half cup of warm water or milk. If you use
water, add one cup milk, one cup flour, and one cup of
granulated sugar. If you use milk, add one half cup milk,
one cup flour, and one cup of granulated sugar. Set in a
warmish place, like near the stove, and stir once daily for
5-10 days. This makes about 3 cups of starter. Most
recipes for friendship bread that I've seen call for one
cup of starter to start out with, so as tradition dictates I
would keep a cup of starter for myself and give the other
two cups to two friends with the recipe.
AMISH FRIENDSHIP SOURDOUGH (MUFFIN) STARTER
Henry Troup, Bell Northern Research, Ottawa, Canada
Original Instructions:
o Keep only in a ceramic bowl, covered.
o Never refrigerate.
o Stir daily.
o Feed every five days with 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and
1 cup milk.
Split into four, bake one part, keep one part, and give two
to friends.
A quick calculation indicates that in 160 days (32
replications) every person on the planet will have some
muffin starter. And it will take a lot of flour to feed all
of those.
RELAXED INSTRUCTIONS
o Keep in a covered bowl. I transfer it to a clean bowl
every month or so, usually when I'm baking. Mine sits
on top of the microwave
o Refrigeration will slow down the starter, usually a
good idea. Freezing for over a month will kill it. I
refrigerate the starter when I go away for more than a
weekend.
o Stir daily.
o When it looks thin and watery, or smells of alcohol, or
you want to bake with it, feed with: 1/2 cup flour, 1/2
cup sugar and 1/2 cup milk.
It's okay to feed it and not bake immediately, but it really
should be split between every two feedings. The objective
is to keep the yeast in the starter reproducing, as opposed
to fermenting.

AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD (Original Starter Recipe)
Linda DiSanto, Austin, Texas
1 package active dry yeast 2 1/2 cups warm water 2 cups sifted flour
1 Tbsp sugar
Dissolve yeast in 1/2 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 pout 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.
OR use the other cup of batter to make the bread or cake.

Well, heck, here's the recipe for Amish loaf that passed through here a
little over a year ago. Don't have the culture, though - didn't thik
much of it, so didn't make any effort to keep it alive after passing it
on. If "everybody" has seen this, it might be interesting to see if
the recipe differs amongst those who had it passed to them...after
all, stories always seem to mutate when passed from person to person...
do recipes also, or are they scrupulously preserved?
