rom my kitchen to yours, this is my way of saying “Thank you for being my friend.” The Amish created this batch of bread that yields enough batter to share. As I tended to this batter through the past ten days, I thought of you, prayed for you, and couldn’t wait to share this delicious recipe with you. I hope you enjoy our Friendship Bread and pass some on to your good friends too!
