Loaf on left is packaged and ready to be gifted |
The other loaf is for us |
This
is the 3rd batch of starter batter for Amish Friendship Bread (AFB) that
I have taken care of, through the 10 Day Regimen. We were going to an American folk songs of the 60’s concert by Gemini last Friday with friends who invited us to dinner
before the concert so I took one of these loaves for them to freeze. For dinner she prepared a salad and Moussaka and
for dessert we had some of the bread I made from the second batch of starter
batter, Carrot Amish Friendship Bread and Chocolate Amish Friendship
Bread. That dinner and the concert
afterwards made for a very enjoyable evening!
You
can make your own starter batter or save a whole lot of time if you get it from
a friend. However, if you wish to give your friends some of your starter
batter, you will have to nurse it through the 10 Day Regimen.
To
make 2 loaves of this bread, you will need 1 cup of starter batter.
