\"Friendship<\/a>

Friendship Bread and blueberry muffins<\/p><\/div>\n

Total time:\u00a0 30-60 minutes, plus 7-10 days.<\/p>\n

Friendship bread is that chain-letter-bread that you divide with your neighbors and continue to reap the benefits from over and over again.\u00a0 The concept is to take your starter<\/strong>, triple it, then share it with 2 people.\u00a0 You bake with your share, and they bake with their share in 10 days.<\/p>\n

Starter:<\/em><\/p>\n

3 tsp active dry yeast
\n1\/4 cup warm water
\n1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
\n1 cup white sugar
\n1 cup warm milk<\/p>\n

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water, 3-5 minutes.\u00a0 Add remaining ingredients and mix well.\u00a0 Scoop out 1 cup for each of your neighbors.\u00a0 Keep the remaining for yourself.\u00a0 Some people store them in ziplock bags, others in small plastic containers.\u00a0 Either way you do it, this needs to be 3 separate starters. Store in the refrigerator 7-10 days.<\/p>\n

For the next 7-10 days, either squeeze and massage your starter<\/strong> in its bag or stir it gently with a spoon, daily.<\/p>\n

Day of Baking:<\/em><\/p>\n

Frugal Fanny Style:
\nyour starter dough
\n1 cup flour
\n1 cup milk
\n1 cup sugar<\/p>\n

In a large mixing bowl, combine your starter<\/strong>, flour, milk, and sugar.\u00a0 Mix well.\u00a0 Scoop out two cups for two more starters for yourself.\u00a0 Continue to Hungry Hippo Style.<\/p>\n

OR skip this step and move straight on to<\/p>\n

Hungry Hippo Style:
\nyour starter dough
\n1 cup flour
\n1 egg
\n1\/4 cup vegetable oil
\n1\/4 cup sugar
\n1 tsp vanilla extract
\n3\/4 tsp baking powder
\n1\/2 tsp cinnamon
\n1\/4 tsp baking soda
\n1\/4 tsp salt
\nsoftened or melted butter
\nsugar for dusting<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 325F.<\/p>\n

Grease a loaf pan or muffin tin with soft or melted butter.\u00a0 Dust with sugar.<\/p>\n

In a large mixing bowl, combine your starter<\/strong> and all the other ingredients.\u00a0 Beat until well blended.\u00a0 If you want to fold in fruit or other bread or muffin add-ins, now is the time to fold them in.\u00a0 Pour batter into loaf pans or muffin cups.<\/p>\n

Bake 22-25 minutes until dark golden brown.<\/p>\n

Planning\/Party Patsy Style:
\nDo Frugal Fanny Style except only scoop out one cup of new starter for yourself.\u00a0 Double the ingredients in Hungry Hippo Style and make two loaves of bread or a loaf of bread and 12 muffins (pictured).\u00a0 If you bake them side by side, increase bake time to 45-60 minutes.<\/p>\n

Is Stacie Amish? Does Stacie have Amish friends?\u00a0 Is it just the bread that’s Amish?\u00a0 How about none of it.\u00a0 Or let’s say yes to all of it, just for fun. It’s all Amish. Bring on the farm.<\/p>\n

“Cuppy,” you ask, “what happened to the nice even numbers of 1 scoop this, 1 scoop that?!” I strangely found the original recipe too sweet. Yes, <\/em>I<\/strong> thought something was too sweet. I blame La Ni\u00f1a.<\/p>\n

Do you need to share this starter? No. Do you need to share the bread or muffins? No.<\/p>\n

As of this post, I’ve used the same batter 4 times, and I have one in the refrigerator.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
