1 cup Amish Friendship Bread Starter
4 cups of flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup of butter, room temperature

  2. Whisk together all dry ingre­di­ents.
  3. Add in wet ingredients.
  4. Mix quickly.
  5. Turn out onto a floured surface, cover with 1/4 cup of flour and kneed for 30 seconds.

Kitchen Notes
If you have any left the next day, it makes great toast. This dough resembles biscuit dough–to make drop biscuits, drop a heaping tablespoon onto a baking sheet.

    I use to make this when the kids were still at home. So many ways of making it.

    This bread looks gorgeous & I’m sure it’s absolutely delicious. :) I love adding chopped crisp bacon in my Irish Soda Breads.

    The starter and recipe I got says on day 10 to add 1 1/2 cups of flour, sugar, and milk. So the amount I end up with after removing 4 cups for new starters is closer to 2 cups I think, but I’ve never measured. Any thoughts on this? Maybe next batch I will just add 1 cup at the end instead… :)
