January 9, 2018 at 6:07 amI gave away the traditional friendship bread in mini loaves as teacher gifts this year, and they all told me they wished they had bigger loaves. One teacher asked for some starter! We’re sharing the bread love at my daughter’s school in 2018.

January 9, 2018 at 9:29 amI’m new to this blog but in the future I’d like to see possible ways to speed up the starter process. It’s funny I used to make friendship bread years ago, just basic traditional. I never thought about jazzing it up. Definitely interesting to see

January 9, 2018 at 5:50 pmAmish friendship bread was a staple in our Newlywed years of marriage! My husband looked forward to baking day more than me and was always suggesting new ideas. It has been too many years since I made some and think getting back to it needs to be a resolution for 2018!
