Regardless of your religious affiliations, you can enjoy delicious Amish Friendship Bread and strengthen your friendships at the same time.
Step 1: Get starter
Make an Amish Friendship Bread starter, or get one from another baker.
Step 2: Knead the starter and add ingredients
Knead the bag of starter once a day on the second, third, fourth, and fifth days after you make or get it. On the sixth day, open the bag and add 1 cup each of the flour, sugar, and milk. Then reseal the bag and knead it to mix everything together.
Step 3: Knead again
Knead the mixture in the bag twice a day on the seventh, eighth, and ninth days. On the 10th day, transfer the mixture to a ceramic, wooden, or plastic bowl and add another cup each of flour, sugar, and milk. Mix it up with a non-metal utensil and divide it into three equal batches, sealing two in separate plastic bags to give to friends.
Step 4: Add oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla
Preheat your oven to 330 degrees Fahrenheit and add the oil, eggs, the remaining 1/2 cup milk, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix it thoroughly and set the bowl aside.
Tip
Instead of 1 cup oil, you can use 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup applesauce.
Step 5: Mix the batter
Mix the remaining flour, 1 cup of sugar, the baking powder, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, the salt, baking soda, pudding, and nuts in a separate, non-metallic bowl. Add the mixture to the starter, stir it until everything is combined, and then divide it between the two loaf pans.
Tip
You can substitute almonds for walnuts.
Step 6: Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over batter
Mix the remaining sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle it evenly over the batter. Transfer the pans to the oven and bake the bread for one hour. Let the loaves cool for 15 minutes, remove them from the pans, and enjoy your Amish friendship bread.

Amish friendship bread starter recipe
**This is a 10 day process.
1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
3 cups flour
3 cups white sugar
3 cups milk
Day 1
Dissolve yeast in water. Let sit 10 minutes.
In a glass, plastic or ceramic container (not metal), combine 1 cup of each of the flour, sugar and milk. Add yeast mixture. Mix completely. If using an open container, cover it loosely with a towel. If using a zipper bag, zip it closed and set in a bowl. Keep it on the counter in a warm spot.
***I use a gallon size zipper bag.
Day 2-4
Mix the starter. Let air out of the bag so it doesn't explode.
Day 5
Add 1 cup each of the flour, sugar and milk. Mix completely.
Day 6-9
Mix starter.
Day 10
Add 1 cup each of the flour, sugar and milk. Mix completely. The starter is ready to use.
There is approximately 4 cups of starter. Use 1 cup to make bread now.
Give 1 cup each to 2 friends along with the recipe. They will be starting at day 2.
Save 1 cup for yourself. Just start at day 2 of this process so you can increase your starter volume.
**The starter can be kept in the refrigerator for later use. When you want to use it just put it on the counter and start feeding it at day 5 step.
