Love not using the boxed pudding! TFS
Okay, I might get in trouble for this question and comment: do many Amish suffer from diabetes?
Got diabetus watching this
The bread looks delicious and I will most likely bake some up.
But, it isn't Amish Friendship Bread. I used to make it frequently back in the 80's. It requires a fermented starter mix (can take up to a month of fermation depending on the recipe). You would keep one cup of the starter for yourself to make your bread and pass one cup to friends along your favorite friendship bread recipe. They would add the same starter ingredients to your starter and allow their batch to ferment – and on and on. Never saw one calling for pudding mix but cinnamon and sugar were musts.
It wasn't unlike the pandemic sour dough starter sharing some of my friends were doing last summer.
I make friendship bread often. I freeze my starter at different stages so I always have something going on. You can also change the flavor of the pudding to change it up a bit.

My Mom so loved watching you two lovely ladies.
She was 93 and passed away two weeks ago.
She and I would talk about the show all the time.
I miss her terribly and will be watching you ladies.
Continuing my conversation with My Mom. I know she is listening from Heaven.
Yum. Easy Peasy…
Yum!!!
Sounds yummy but wayyy to much sugar. Can I use a sugar substitute?
My Cooks Country magazines have an honored place on the bookshelf.
Love the presentation with these two women, they interchange with each other so well.
Wonder about the recipe…would farm folks have vegetable oil? Shortening- like something.
Is…question I've had forever….is peanut oil always a substitute for vegetable oil? I'm able to buy peanut oil in smaller bottles, but prefer it too.
Something you do in the magazine, you could do here….I just love that feature…somebody describes a long lost recipe…Name that tune…love that.
where is the starter?
Finally realized that friendship bread is the base of my mom's banana bread! I was always disappointed in banana bread recipes, because they never came out sweet or moist like I remember. As soon as they cut into it, it was confirmed. Definitely explains the cinnamon sugar crust too
It's rare to see Julia and Bridget hosting a show together these days.
Oh that’s gotta be lovely with a cup of coffee, unsweetened of course.
This is one of those recipes it’s good and easy to memorize. Because it something you can put together last minute as all the ingredients ppl usually keep on hand.
I would even play around with it and add orange zest to it. I love the combo of warm spices and orange.
So much sugar….
The Amish friendship bread we made when I was in high school had a starter like sourdough. My friend gave me a starter and directions. It was fed until the volume grew. You split the starter to make your own loaf and to give a starter to a friend.
0:08 the left of screen… that woman at the back trying to make bending, precise cuts… WITH A SWORD.
I use to make this all the time as a kid 🥰
This is just cake 😂
Nothing friendly about this diabetes delivery vehicle.
When they mention starter, I was thinking some sort of special yeast, as in cheese or beer. What gives?
French toast cousin.
I cheat. I get slices of store bought bread, butter the top, spread cinnamon and sugar on top in swirls, and use a toaster oven. It becomes crunchy because of the sugar. I call it down and dirty cinnamon rolls without icing.
Yeah, this should work to initiate some friendships!
To me it looks more like a cake than a bread, since does not have any fermentation process.
Isn't this just cultural Amish appropriation?
Could I substitute Butter Milk for some or all of the whole milk?
