Love the Amish people. Love their recipes also.
This sounds sinful….. YUMMY!!!!!!
Love almonds and love Friendship bread. Putting them together must make a once-in-a-lifetime drooling experience!
I would love to try this. I did not know there was a dry starter only used the wet.
I think most use the wet starter. Armchair sells a dry starter that you make wet.
what does friendship bread starter mean ? it calls for one cup, i don’t know ? this recipe looks fabulous i want to try it ~ please inform me ~
Hi Carol! The starter is a 10 day process! Check out the link: http://www.friendshipbreadkitchen.com/pantry/amish-friendship-bread-starter
On day 10 you “feed the starter” and then you use 1 cup of that for most all of the recipes.
Check out the link and if you have more questions, please stop over at the Forum Kitchen talk and let us know how we can help!
I can hardly wait to make some of the different recipes….they all sound wonderful!!!!!!
can’t wait to try this!!!!!!!! YYYYYUUUUUMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!
I am for sure going to make this one. I need to get a few of the items listed that I don’t have on hand first. I have made the Hazelnut cake three times now. My husband loves it the most. I have made the carrot cake twice plus some of the others too. I pick out the ones I think my husband would like and go from there. So I am pretty sure he will love this one too.
OMG !!! gonna have to make this SOON! Almond Joy is my fav candy !!! YUMMO !!
Love me some Amish Breads
gona try it sounds good
I make so much of the bread and now I see I have a new recipe..I have made many different ones too and I don’t share my starter. My husband loves to give it to people so that is an enjoyment. Can’t keep it in the freezer long enough. This bread freezes beautifully too..I make muffins too…
We love hearing about your baking, Becky! We’d love for you to snap pictures and share them with us!
Happy Baking,
