- The friend who gave me this starter recipe controls her batch by only adding 1/3 c of each ingredient on days 5 and 10. You can do this to prevent yourself from becoming overrun! The bread recipe below is a good solution to the starter, but you end up 50 lbs overweight and have a freezer full of loaves unless you learn to control the
- "Herman" or possibly pass it on to friends.
- Amish Friendship Bread
- To Remaining Batch of "Herman" (after you remove the 3 c. and restart or possibly pass them on) add in the following.
- Remaining Herman 2/3 c oil 3 Large eggs 1 c nut/fruit of choice (applesauce, bananas, etc) 2 c flour 1 1/2 t baking pwdr 1 c sugar 3/4 salt 1/2 t soda 1 t cinnamon
