I made Amish friendship bread today. So how it works is someone makes a starter then let's it grow (ferment) and then after 10 days you divide it up and keep some and give the rest to friends. Then they let it grow and you grow what you kept and then you have tons of bread. I would say that it is more like a pound cake, so i guess a sweet bread. I am going to keep mine going and give some to my mom. She is going to be visiting from Iowa. The starter was a gift from my neighbor Jen. I found out that so far I am the forth generation, but Jen does not know if here friends mother in law started it or if she got it from a friend. LOL. I am going to give it to two of my friends and keep a starter. I looked it up on the internet and someone said you can freeze it. I decided I would freeze my new portion until we have eaten the loves i made today. It makes a ton, 2 big loaves. the next batch i am going to try and make chocolate!
