friendship bread

Well, tomorrow is Baking Day.  My friend Heather gave me an Amish Friendship Bread starter back in May, and I have baked bread every 10 days (or 9 or 11, and once 12) since May.  The end of May.  Six months times 30 days times two loaves at a time means I have baked bread approximately 18 times, times two loaves, 36 loaves.  WOW, it sure does seem like a lot more than that.  Alright, maybe I am not so spectacular. :)

I do it for Matt.  He LOVES the bread.  As does his mom, family friends, his mom’s work friends, her coworkers, a loaf even sold in a craft bazaar, and I didn’t even know it was entered.  I am feeding the masses!  It is sort of fun—I think I am going to stop at one year and call it a day.

The funny thing about the bread is, the starter has to be smushed every day, and on day 6 I have to add one cup each of flour, sugar, and milk.  My starter has been “babysat” three times while I traveled so it would not go bad.  It is sort of fun!
