I'm om day 5....can't wait to surprise my best friend and her hubby for Christmas. When I was newly divorced, with a sick kid, and 2 jobs I couldn't afford much. This was my present to them. He has asked for it for the past few years. Now I get to surprise them with some cinn bread! ❤️

Oh dear dear, you killing me.... sour dough is my thing 😋. But now this ?? Rachel, Rachel! I got to do this ... oh yeah. 😂😂

Yes, the bowl and beaters were always a treat!

This was THE best bread ever. I remember it very well!

Lol I was saying Rachel, you didn’t add the starter. Glad you realized it before you baked. I’ve done that before. 😍😍

I love using different flavors of instant puddings. Pistachio was our fav with extra ground pistachio added.

We need more honest KZreadrs! How relatable is this video. Love your farm! You and your husband are the cutest team!

Okay....now you have me hooked! Our oldest is 40 (then 18 year gap lol) and youngest just turned 15 today! I made this till we had enough...no one said I could freeze it. Gave it away to family and friends until I ran out of people to give it to...lol! Now watching you is like deja vu! We were gifted a very sweet cinnamon pound cake from Costco and they want more (4 kids are still at home farming with us). This might come close if I remember right😉 Are you going to post videos of your other creations? Working on the farm with 5 hours of sleep my creativity is low until you show ideas and I run with them. I like your recipes so I have a starting point. Butchering my last 8 Cornish cross tomorrow to can broth, chicken soup, and chicken hunky and freeze the breasts. Usually 7 qt. of each. And then put my canner away for the winter...unless I run out of beans😜 I'm so ready for the kitchen to not look like a processing plant. I did the whole garden, 50 meat birds, 4 pigs....still have ducks, turkeys, 1 beefer. We do all the cutting, grinding, and wrapping up ourselves. So enough is enough....time to get ready for holiday fun!!

Looks delicious. I have a lot of sourdough experience but very little Amish friendship starter experience. The reason you don't want to overwork sourdough is that the gluten structure breaks down after a point, causing it to release the absorbed moisture, and the dough will become loose and sticky. Once that gluten breaks down, there is no saving the dough. It will be a sad, soggy mess, and the dough won't be able to hold onto its fermentation gasses.

Is looks absolutely scrumptious! It freeze well too. I wish Todd came in to test it. That would've been fun to see his face, ya'll 💐💙🙏🇺🇲

I’ve been running a friendship bread starter going for a few weeks now and even taught a homeschool class how to start their own last Friday afternoon. This was a nice video, I love friendship bread! We made waffles with some of our extra and they were delish.

Right before you realized you had left out the Amish starter, I was literally yelling at the screen, “wait! Don’t you have to add the friendship starter?” Lol. It looks delicious! Can’t wait to try some at our house- I haven’t made it in a VERY long time!

Haha me too....then when she didn't I thought...ok maybe it's a different type of friendship bread since she added flour n all the other ingredients 🤣🤣

I just made banana nut and cinnamon amish friendship bread this morning! It smells so nice. Happy baking!

As you said it was time to put the batter into the pans-I thought to myself that I wasn’t paying attention-I missed the addition of the starter. 🤣. I’ve left out ingredients many and realized after 5he product was in the oven and I was cleaning the kitchen! No one’s perfect! 🌹

I haven't made this in 40 yrs. I don't remember using pudding. Looks delicious and something to make as gifts for Christmas. Please do share how you made pie crust from the starter. Thank you both always for your content!

I added cranberries to this! Ooo so good.

It looks delicious! I can almost smell it from here.

My Amish starter is on day 4. But I have finally had success making a traditional sour dough starter, it's taken over 4 tries. Tonight I am making a dear departed friend's sourdough multigrain herb bread recipe. I replace to oil with either pear or apple sauce. Add dried fruit, chocolate chips.

Pie crusts made in advance is such a good idea. ❤

This bread is wonderful. You can use different puddings for different flavors. Such as chocolate, lemon or not adding the cinnamon and add baby chocolate chips. Enjoy!!

I was saying to my phone “ you forgot the starter”!! Glad you caught it!! 😂

Thanks Rachel I have never made this before., I just enjoy Watching me things., Enjoy 11-12-2022👍🏽👍🏽♥️

Thanks Rachel for all these delicious ideas. My friend's mom had done the bread I like the pancake idea. You and Todd are awesome, and have inspired me to try several new things.

Would have loved to seen Todd’s reaction

First time commenter here...I used to make this long ago. A starter was given to me from my aunt and not one of us knew how to make it. After months of keeping a constant supply life happened and I lost it. (Very sad day) We are actually buying a few acres and I have been watching you for months. And I like your channel/style/ideas so much. You have definitely inspired me in ways I didn't ever know I could go. Thank you. This video section here has sealed the deal. Best one this far!! Thank you for doing this recipe and keep up the great work..

This was so good. I didn’t do the sweet starter. I already have a sourdough starter that I’ve had for years, and maintaining 2 does NOT sound fun, so I used a cup of it. The bread turned out amazing! I’m definitely keeping this recipe in rotation. Thank you.

Yum! Those look so good!

LOL I thought I missed something!!! It's good to know we're all human!!! God Bless!!!

Looks so yummy ! ENJOY

I’m on day 4 and I can’t wait! Thank you, Rachel😄♥️

Looks so good! Probably smells even better!

I gotta get my starter going. This looks sooo good! Thanks Rachel and have a blessed day

Looks delicious

I think I want to give it a try again!! So much fun and a great holiday gift.

I was sitting here saying, “Rachel, you forgot to add the starter!” Just like you would answer me. Lol…

Just love you in the kitchen. What a wild child. Keepin’ it real🤭

Yay! I've been waiting for this. I am on day 2 so I should be on ten next weekend in time to make some yummy stuff.

Inspiring me to get my starter going to bake breads this winter. I stopped during the peak of abundance season. Thank you 💗

got mine started; ty for video and instructions

Thank you, thank you! This is the recipe I have been looking for! Looks divine! I bet Todd loved it!

The reason you don't over mix is because that develops gluten, which would make your cakes and quick breads, such as friendship bread, tough instead of tender.

You can change up the pudding flavors to get different flavors. I use 2 boxes and my favorite is 1 box of vanilla and 1 box of banana. I also add golden raisins. It is delicious!

As a teacher (in the 1990s) ziplock bags of this starter was often up for grabs in the teacher’s lounge. I took a bag home and kept it going for a long while, but only made the bread. That long ago recipe indicated using different pudding flavors. A favorite was pistachio! Lemon was also good. My neighbors loved it when I shared!

Well congratulations Rachel.......you have taken many of us back to the 70's!!! LOL. Watched your utube yesterds (friday) , spent last evening looking for my Amish friendship articles that was in our local paper back in the 70's and found it!!! I knew I had kept the article and wanted to see what recipes it all had. I have mine mixed up now this morning and on my counter!!!! LOL Thank you!! I have thinking about this friendship mix for several weeks already (thinking it would be a good thing for the the Holidays) so appreciate you posting this as a review. HAPPY FRIENDSHIPING!!

Going to add pumpkin and try it

Hi Rachel, I am the one that ask you about my starter not being bubbly. You ask me if my yeast was out of date, which it was by one month. I had other yeast so I added it to the one I already started and it did get real bubbly. Today is day 10. I’m going to make the bread and crossing my fingers it worked. 😄 if not I already have another started.

I did this over 30 yrs ago :) Back then, I didn't know you could use the starter for anything but bread :P (love the internet ha) Our favorite was making lemon poppy with the starter. It got to be way too much sweetbreads for the kids: I wasn't making any other kind of dessert because I needed to use up the starter! We missed cookies and pies and bars etc. Now I know better.

I meant to but haven't yet. I've been baking pumpkins and pureeing them for future pies, breads etc. Plan to dehydrate some, and grate some (to freeze) I did add the starter recipe to my recipe book, and this recipe as well. Thanks 😊 Ohhh First!!! Lol

As I was watching, I was saying”Oh no! Rachel, add the starter!” Then I thought you probably added it off camera. Lol. I have made this bread, omitting the cinnamon and adding chocolate chips or blueberries and then just sprinkling sugar on top. DELICIOUS!!

I'd love to see the pie crust recipe with friendship starter.

No, I watched the video, talked about it with my husband and then forgot about it. If I remember I’ll do it tomorrow.

I still lick the bowl and beaters and spatula!😂😂😂😂

Yum 😋

Yum, looks delicious, will have to try. Sure hope you go over to Rumble to start your cooking and baking videos, seen some on there now, saying You Tube will be going down. Sure love your cooking and baking videos.

I missed the pie crust recipe. Going to go back and rewatch the pancake video. I started mine when you put that out.

Was watching and thought i had missed you adding the starter😂

The beaters were the best. It was at my grandma's house, but the same sentiment.

I haven’t made Amish friendship bread in about 20 years too. Now you have inspired me to start one myself. I’ve tried my hand at regular sourdough and it’s just too fussy and time consuming for me.

Lol! I was trying to tell you, telling my phone 🙄, you forgot the starter! 🤣

Did your hubby like this recipe? We didn't see the taste test. Lol. That looks so so good.

It's funny that you say that about licking the bowl. Lol. I'm 45 years old and I'm my house we still lick the bowl.

Started mine yesterday. 🙂

On a serious note I used to make the Friendship bread years ago. It got passed around at work. Seems like a bunch of us ladies were making it.

Question? I understand sourdough and the need for a starter to collect and grow yeast. Can you please explain the need to go 10 days with a starter for the Amish friendship bread , when you were actually using live yeast ✌🏼

I made double batch and only 2 cups of flour still can eat it 😋

Can you only use the starter on day 10. If so do you have to plan to bake with it all at once making a lot of items?

Dutch whisk would make that easier to assemble. I've not enjoyed that in years. Finding glass pasta canister to make starter. Jars hard to come by.

Yes i got mine going but i forgot to stir today

Started mine today had to get fresh yeast.
