Amish Friendship Bread

This is the Amish Friendship Bread print out that goes with the Amish Friendship Starter post. That way your friend, that you give the starter, will know how to share and make the bread for their family too.

Important Note: Do not use metal bowls or spoons! Do not refrigerate.

If air gets into the bag, let it out. It is normal for the batter to rise, bubble, and ferment.
