What is Amish Friendship Bread? Amish Friendship Bread is a yeasted bread that is made from a starter that is shared among friends and family. The starter contains flour, sugar, milk, and yeast, and it is fermented over a period of ten days. Each day, the starter is “fed” with more flour, sugar, and milk, until it has grown into a large batch that can be divided and shared with others.

Amish friendship bread is a sweet and tangy bread that has been around for centuries. It is called as such because it involves sharing the starter dough with friends and family to keep the tradition going. One of the most popular variations of this bread is the lemon variation. Here are some valuable tips when making Amish Friendship Bread Lemon Variations Recipes.

Tip 1: Use Fresh Lemons

One of the most important ingredients in making Amish Friendship Bread Lemon Variations Recipes is fresh lemons. The tangy and zesty flavor and fragrance of the lemon will make the bread even more enjoyable. When choosing lemons, make sure to select those that are firm and heavy with bright yellow skin. The whiter the inside, the less juice it contains. Roll the lemon on the counter to soften it and extract more juice.

Tip 2: Add Lemon Zest

Lemon zest is a valuable ingredient when making lemon variations of Amish Friendship Bread. Zest is the outermost part of the skin that contains natural oils that provide the lemon’s unique flavor and aroma. Grate the zest from the lemon using a fine grater or zester. Be careful not to include the white pith which is bitter.

Tip 3: Use Pure Lemon Extract

Adding some lemon extract to the Amish Friendship Bread dough will intensify the lemon flavor. Use pure lemon extract as it has a more natural taste than its artificial counterpart. Only a few drops of lemon extract are needed to enhance the flavor of the bread significantly.

Tip 4: Add Poppy Seeds

Poppy seeds are a tasty addition to the lemon variation of the Amish Friendship Bread recipe. These tiny black seeds have a nutty flavor that complements the tangy taste of the lemon. Add a tablespoon of poppy seeds to the dough, along with the lemon zest, to create a unique and delightful twist to the traditional version.

Tip 5: Mix the Ingredients Carefully

When making Amish Friendship Bread Lemon Variations Recipes, it is crucial to mix the ingredients carefully. Slowly mix the dough with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula. Overmixing can make the bread tough, so it's important to only mix the ingredients until they are well combined.

Tip 6: Keep the Dough Moist

To ensure that the Amish Friendship Bread Lemon Variations Recipes are fluffy and moist, you need to add some moisture. This can be done by including applesauce or yogurt to the dough. Other moist ingredients include sour cream or heavy cream. These ingredients help to keep the bread moist and tender.

Tip 7: Let the Bread Cool

When the lemon variation of the Amish Friendship Bread is fresh from the oven, it's tempting to slice into it immediately. However, letting the bread cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting it is important. This will allow the bread to set and maintain its shape, making it easier to slice.

Tip 8: Store at Room Temperature

The Amish Friendship Bread Lemon Variations Recipes should be stored at room temperature for two to three days. To ensure lasting freshness, wrap the bread in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Don't refrigerate the bread as it can cause it to dry out.

Conclusion

Making Amish Friendship Bread Lemon Variations Recipes can be a fun way of enjoying a tasty and tangy bread. With these valuable tips, you can create a unique and delicious twist to the traditional Amish Friendship Bread recipe. Remember to use fresh lemons and add some zest and poppy seeds to enhance the lemon flavor. Mix the ingredients carefully and keep the dough moist by adding ingredients like applesauce or yogurt. Finally, store the bread at room temperature to ensure lasting freshness. Enjoy!
