Amish Friendship Bread - No Starter

added by Tara Grimshaw

I have always loved Amish Friendship Bread, but I moved to a new town where I
don't know many people. This was perfect for me so I didn't have to figure out
what to do with the other starters! I also did not like waiting the 10 or 30 days for
the other batches I have made. My 2 year old son is a natural in the kitchen and loves to help mommy
add ingredients and mix, so this is how we have our mommy/son bonding time. We use a Bundt pan or
muffin pan, as this has been described as more of a cake. It has been compared to a coffee cake. This
yields 2 loaves of bread and is sweet.
