A few years ago, my daughter introduced me to Amish Friendship bread. She was at orchestra practice and her friend brought her a piece. Becky, saved me a morsel so I could try it. From that little taste, I knew I needed to make more. It was moist and delicious. I felt like I was eating cake instead of bread. I got the recipe from her mother and started making my own.
The secret ingredient in Amish Friendship bread is the starter. Over the years, I did not keep up with my starter. Needless to say I was so glad when I found the recipe for the starter on the web and was able to start making this great bread again.
The Website "Friendship Bread Kitchen" has grown since I started making it years ago. You can find recipes for bread, pancakes, and cakes. I made the Amish Friendship Bread recipe. Instead of using raisins, I used chopped dried cherries. Also, I only used one box of pudding mix. This recipe makes 2 loaves.

I have had this bread before, however, it was much plainer than yours. I really had no idea that there was so much you could do with the friendship base! I clicked on that website and I definitely need to go back and look into the detail of some of the recipes. Glad you posted this-it really did open my eyes. Thanks Geri and have a great day!
ReplyDeleteTina, It is amazing how many different recipes there are today. My next adventure is going to be the Amish Irish Soda Bread. Have a great day:) Geri
DeleteOh, yeah...cherries are SO much better than raisins! Your bread looks excellent, Geri!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lizzy. Have a great day:) Geri
DeleteGeri, I made Amish Friendship bread years ago and just dug out the recipe a few weeks ago. I love the moistness of this bread. Your bread looks wonderful...now I know I will be making it again. You have inspired me. I found a site called self reliance that had an Amish Friendship Carrot Cake. I bookmarked it so I can go back and make it.
