What am I supposed to put in my Amish friendship bread?

Question

Hey there, so I got a starter from my friend a few days ago, and I'm going to start it today, what do I put in it? I didn't get a list ora nything with it?

Answer 1

The starter should have come with instructions....its pretty complicated...I did it one time, and wound up just making the stuff and not passing it on...it was tasty, but a lot of work....and if you're not used to cooking, baking...it can be complicated...I decided it should be called..Not so much Friendship bread. (lol)
