Remove 1 cup to make your first bread, give 2 cups placed in gallon sized zip lock bags to friends along with this recipe, and your favorite Amish Bread recipe. Store the remaining 1 cup starter in a container in the refrigerator, or begin the 10 day process over again (beginning with step 2)

Note to give friends with starter:

Pour the entire contents of the bag into a NON METAL bowl adding: 1 ½ cups flour, 1 ½ cups sugar, and 1 ½ cups milk.  Measure out 4 separate batters (and the 5th in the bowl) of 1 cup each into 4 separate gallon Ziploc bags.  Keep one for yourself and give the other 3 to friends along with a copy of the recipe:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.  To the remaining batter in the bowl add:
1 cup oil

2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1-1/2 tsp baking powder

Grease 2 large loaf pans.  (Works to use pam)  Mix in a small bowl ½ cup sugar and 1 ½ tsp cinnamon.  Dust the greased loaf pans with ½ of this mixture.  Pour the batter evenly into the 2 greased pans and sprinkle remaining sugar mixture over the batter.

Bake 55-60 minutes at 325 degrees.  Cool until the bread loosens from the pan (about 10 minutes)  Turn out onto a serving dish.  Server warm or cold.
