Friendship Bread Recipes

This is made with a starter, like sour dough bread, but is not sour.
********
Calculations were made using all applesauce, plain soy milk, and sugar free pudding mix and without the optional ingredients.

Takes 10 days for the dough to raise...

This scrumptious bread is best when shared with friends, bake in mini foil bread pans and hand out with bags of the starter.

I haven't baked it this way yet, but will let you know when my starter is ready and I bake this, I'm hoping that this will be as good, it is about 70 calories lighter and half the fat.

Amish Friendship Bread Vanilla

This is made with a starte, like sour dough bread, but is not sour.

This bread is usually made with starter you get from a friend (hence the name), but the starter can be made.

A friend of mine passed along this recipe. I have made a few adjustments and lowered the calorie content.

low fat variation

Makes 2 loafs with 12 servings each.

Makes 4 servings of starter, 1 cup each.

This is the traditional recipe, with half the oil and skim milk. I think it tastes better and has a better consistency that way.

This is a new twist on the Amish Friendship Bread made with cranberries, pecans and orange zest...and still lower fat and lower carb than the regular recipe.

This recipe is started with a "starter" that only the Amish knows what is in it. So the calculations are probably not completely accurate. The starter is given in a gallon ziplock bag.

The recipe for the starter can be found at this link:http://www.friendshipbreadkitchen.com

(The starter recipe says it makes 4 starters, but I've always been able to get 6-1 cup starters out of it, and that assumption is what the following recipe is based on.)
I tweeked the finished bread recipe to accommodate healthier ingredients, and thereby dramatically reducing the calorie count.
