Amish Friendship Bread: Day 20
Yes, I know there can be no Day 20. However, as you may have noticed, I never did post about Day 10, which was rather anti-climactic for all you readers, I'm sure. That picture was taken on Day 10, just before closing the oven. (Yes, Mom, my oven needs to be cleaned.) In the intervening 10 days, I have even completed an entire second cycle of Amish Friendship Bread (and currently have one yeast starter available to anyone who wants it...).
And now having done this twice, I think I can nearly call myself an Amish Friendship Bread expert. Sure, I don't have more than the most basic idea of how yeast works or any of the other ingredients for that matter, but at this point, I think Amish Friendship Bread could throw whatever it wanted at me, and I could handle it. Example: after baking my chocolate-variation of Amish Friendship Bread yesterday for the hour specified in the directions, I stuck a toothpick in, and it was woefully underbaked. I gave it an extra 10 minutes, and voila! Perfecto. Yeah, I'm that good.
I will do one more Amish Friendship Bread cycle (it's going to be pistachio this time! what what!), and then I think I'll (attempt to) give it up. It's fun, but how long can I do this, really? However, giving it up means finding four people to take starters from me, which I don't think I'll be able to do. I will have to research online how to END this cycle once and for all.
Missed something?

I bet Marisa would be up for it. When she gets back, of course.
By the time Marisa gets back, Cycle 3 will be over, and the bread will be baked.
If the end of a cycle ends near a weekend, perhaps. Of course, you'd have to ask her.
Hi! Annie. Good luck with your Amish Friendship bread.
Peep into my blog on friendship greeting cards for some beautiful e-greeting cards and friendly tips.
Nice picture and also goodluck with ur Amish Friendship experiment...i guess u should do some more experiment to continue with it unless u bring in perfection rather than putting a stop to it..cheers! :)
If you can't find anyone to take it, I read online that you can freeze starters until you're ready to start mushing again.
