Amish Friendship Bread Recipes: Instructions

Notes for Amish friendship bread recipes:

1. DO NOT use a metal spoon or a metal bowl and DO NOT refrigerate! From what I have been told metal will have an acidic reaction with your starter. I am not a chemist so I just do what I am told even though I don't really understand what the big deal is.

2. Let air out of the bag as necessary or the bag will explode!

3. You might find some directions which are a tad different...that's ok...it'll still work. As I said Amish friendship bread is very forgiving.

So are you ready? Let's go.
