- Pour entire contents of the bag into a large non-metal bowl.
- For 4 starters: Add 1-1/2 cups flour, 1-1/2 cups sugar, 1-1/2 cups milk.
- For 1 starter: Add ½ cup flour, ½ cup sugar, ½ milk (Tip: Starter will form lumps - add flour and sugar only and stir until smooth then add milk gradually (it will take a lot of stirring.).
- Label four (or one), one-gallon Ziploc bags with "Day 1" and the date. Fill each of these bags with one cup of the mixture. These are starters for you to pass onto your friends and/or co-workers. If you'd like, you may keep one for yourself. Note: If you keep a starter bag for yourself, you will be baking bread every 10th day. If you don't keep one for yourself, you will have to wait until you receive another starter bag from a friend, as the Amish are the only ones who know how to create a starter. After filling the bags, there will be 1-1/2 cups of batter remaining.
- Preheat the oven to 325'.
- To the remaining batter add 3 eggs, 1-1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 cup oil (or ½ oil & ½ applesauce), ½ tsp baking soda, ½ cup milk, ½ tsp vanilla, 1 cup sugar, 2 cups flour, ½ tsp salt, 1 large box vanilla instant pudding, 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 cup raisins (optional), 1 cup chopped nuts (optional).
- Note: It is easier to mix if you combine the dry ingredients (except for sugar and pudding) in another bowl then add it slowly to the batter.
- Grease bottom and sides of 2 large loaf pans or spray with Pam. Mix ½ cup sugar and 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl. Dust the insides of each of the pans with half of the mixture, making sure to cover the bottom and sides well.
- Pour batter evenly into the 2 pans and sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture over top of the batter.
- Bake for approximately 1 hour (until toothpick comes out clean.) Cool until the bread loosens from the pan easily. Turn onto serving dish. May be served warm or cold. Enjoy.

AMISH SOURDOUGH BREAD/STARTER
Found this recipe in my mother's recipe box. I don't remember her ever making it, but I have and it makes gorgeous bread! Starter takes 10 days to ferment, but after this you can make bread anytime you want! Traditionally, starter is given to friends and family in 1 cup increments, after the 10 days. You can also freeze 1 cup in zip lock bags for future use. I know it sounds like a lot of sweetener, but the yeast needs this sugar to feed itself, bread will not be sweet. Starter can be used for many other breads, such as doughnuts, cinnamon buns, etc. Follow recipe using 1 pkg yeast and 1 cup of starter. Prep time doesn't count 10 days to prepare starter. Nutrition Information is for total ingredients so won't be accurate.

Steps:
- For starter, dissolve yeast in warm water. Mix with 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar or honey and 1 cup milk (lowfat or 2% milk is OK). This is day 1 of 10 day prep. Use a plastic or glass container.
- Leave starter on the counter covered, and stir daily.
- On the 5th day, add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar or honey (or combination) and 1 cup milk. This is called 'feeding' the starter.
- Continue to stir daily. On the 10th day, add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar or honey and 1 cup milk. Starter can now be divided and given away or frozen. I usually wait a day to bake after feeding starter.
- If you are not baking the next day, you can refrigerate starter, but bring to room temperature on baking day, or the night before, if frozen.
- If you receive a cup of starter as a gift, feed immediately and wait a day before baking, to give starter a chance to ferment, at room temperature.
- To bake: Place 1 cup of starter in bowl of mixer. Put mixer on slow speed using a dough hook, and add all ingredients. All ingredients should be room temperature.
- Add 2-1/4 tsps. yeast, 1 cup water, 1 cup milk, 2 tbls honey, 1/4 cup oil, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 2 eggs, 2 tsps. salt, approximately 6-7 cups white flour. You can add more whole wheat and less white, as preferred.
- Knead dough for 10 minute in mixer. Dough should be slightly sticky, but smooth and shiny and should mostly all be on the dough hook when done.
- Remove dough from mixer bowl to a floured board and knead by hand two minutes, shaping into a large ball. Oil inside of mixer bowl.
- Place dough back into bowl, swirl around in oil, and turn over so all sides are oiled. Press down, cover with a clean towel and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled.
- Punch down and divide into two loaves. At this point, 1 ball can be made into 12-14 rolls. Divide into even balls, (if you have a scale, about 2-1/2 oz. each) place on greased cookie sheet, pressing down to a flat disc. Brush tops with beaten egg white mixed with 1 tbl water and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds, if desired.
- Cover and allow to rise for 1 hour, or until double in size.
- Preheat oven to 375° and bake rolls for 15-20 minutes, until browned.
- For loaf of bread flatten 1/2 of dough into a rectangle, to remove bubbles and roll up to a log. Roll two sides under and place log seam side down in greased loaf pan. Brush top with egg white and sprinkle with seeds. Bake at 375° for 25 minutes. Remove from pan and thump bottom of loaf. It should sound hollow when done.
- You can bake 1/2 of dough and shape other half into a loaf, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze. When you are ready to bake, remove from wrap and place in greased loaf pan. Cover and allow to defrost and rise in a warm spot. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with seeds. Bake as usual.

QUICK AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD OR MUFFINS (NO STARTER REQUIRED)
I love this bread and I had a craving for it, but didn't want to wait the month it took for the starter to be ready, so, I modified it a bit. It might not be quite as tasty as the original, but it's great if you want it in a hurry! I like to use butterscotch pudding for a different, but really nice flavor! Hope you enjoy!

The Amish community is known for their traditional way of living and their dedication to simple and wholesome foods. They have a unique way of making bread using a starter, which is a fermented mixture of flour, water, and yeast. This starter is used to kickstart the fermentation process in dough and create a softer, more flavorful bread. In this article, we will explore the concept of Amish quick bread using a starter recipe and its significance in modern-day baking.
The Concept of Amish Quick Bread Using a Starter Recipe
Amish quick bread using a starter recipe is an alternative bread-making technique that involves using a fermented starter to make bread. The starter is a combination of flour, water, and yeast that is left to ferment for several days before it is used in bread-making. The starter is added to the bread dough recipe to help activate the yeast and increase the flavor and texture of the bread.The Benefits of Using a Starter
There are several benefits to using a starter when making bread. Firstly, using a starter can help produce a more flavorful bread. The natural fermentation process that occurs during the starter creation helps to develop and enhance the flavors of the bread. Additionally, using a starter can also help create a softer and fluffier bread. The yeast in the starter creates gas bubbles in the dough, which help it rise and create a lighter texture. Finally, using a starter can also help bread last longer due to the natural preservatives present in the starter.The Process of Creating a Starter
Creating a starter is a straightforward process that can be done at home. To create a starter, combine equal parts of flour and water in a bowl until you have a smooth mixture. Next, add yeast to the mixture and leave it to ferment for several days. Ensure that you feed the starter regularly with fresh flour and water to help it grow and become active. Once the starter has a layer of bubbles and smells slightly sour, it is ready to use.The Bread-Making Process
To make Amish quick bread using a starter recipe, begin by adding the starter to a bowl along with flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Mix the ingredients together and gradually add in milk and any additional flavors like cinnamon or raisins. Once the dough has come together, place it in a greased loaf pan and bake in the oven until golden brown. The result will be a flavorful and fluffy bread that is perfect for toasting or sandwiches.Conclusion
The Amish community has been making bread using a starter for generations, and it is an excellent alternative to traditional bread-making techniques. Using a starter can help produce a more flavorful and softer bread that is perfect for any occasion. The process of making a starter is relatively easy and can be done at home, making this technique accessible to anyone. Whether you're looking to try something new or want to incorporate more natural bread-making techniques into your baking, Amish quick bread using a starter recipe is a great way to start.Amish quick bread is an incredibly delicious and easy-to-make bread. It is made with a sourdough starter, which contains natural yeasts and bacteria that help the bread to rise. However, making this bread can be a bit challenging, especially if you are new to the process. In this article, we’ll share valuable tips to help you make an excellent Amish quick bread using a starter recipe.
Understanding the Basics
Before you begin making Amish quick bread, it’s important to understand the basics of working with a sourdough starter. Here are some critical points to keep in mind:The Starter
Your starter needs to be active and healthy. If it has been sitting in the fridge for a while, you may need to feed it a few times before using it. A good rule of thumb is to feed it at least once a week to keep it healthy and active.Measuring
Measuring is critical when working with a sourdough starter. If you add too much flour or water, your bread won't rise properly. Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately.Temperature
Temperature plays a significant role in the fermentation process. The ideal temperature for your starter is between 75°F and 80°F. If the temperature is too low, it will take longer to rise, and if the temperature is too high, it may kill the natural yeasts and bacteria in the starter.Patience
Sourdough bread requires patience. It takes time for the bread to rise, and you can't rush the process. Be patient and let the bread do its thing.Amish Quick Bread Starter Recipe
Before we dive into the tips for making the bread, here is a starter recipe that you can use to make your Amish quick bread: Ingredients:- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix the flour, water, and sugar together.
- Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours.
- After 24 hours, feed the starter with ½ cup of flour and ¼ cup of warm water. Mix well and let it sit for another 24 hours.
- Repeat the feeding process for five more days or until the starter is bubbly and smells sour.
- Your starter is now ready to use.
