Move Over Betty Crocker


Lately we've been baking bread, both that require starters. A friend from work gave me a starter for Amish friendship bread. It's a good sweet bread and you can change the flavor depending on what pudding packet you add. We've tried the regular with cinnamon, just vanilla and chocolate - my favorite is the plain vanilla. I've baked the bread several times and shared the starter with other friends.
More recently I tracked down a starter for a sourdough bread. We baked our first batch Saturday night at 11pm (poor planning and not reading all of the instructions!) and enjoyed almost the whole loaf Sunday for breakfast and lunch. DJ is voting we make the Amish bread one last time (maybe lemon for summer) and keep baking the sourdough. I think he commented at least 5 times about the sourdough bread...so sourdough bakers we are!

The sour dough looks yummy!!! We're doing the friendship bread one last time, too ... and that's it.
