Amish Friendship Bread: Day 6
In Which I Give Thanks to Yeast
Finally! We do something besides mush the bag. Today, we add stuff to the bag. Then we mush it.
After a healthy breakfast of leftover stir-fry and pan-fried noodles, I set to work. First, let me just say that upon opening the bag, I was greeted by the most heavenly scent of beery goodness, owed exclusively to the yeast. So thank you, yeast.
I added my three ingredients, one cup each of flour, sugar, and milk. Yes, milk. Once again, I think we owe a hearty thanks to the yeast, because y'all, that is the only thing I can think of that's preventing the milk from spoiling and stinking up my house while the bag sits on the counter. (Refrigerators are a no-no - remember, it's Amish Friendship Bread.) You science-types can explain the process to me later.
Ingredients added, I resealed the bag and set to mush. However, my instructions specifically warn me:
If air gets in the bag let it out(Apparently the Amish don't believe in punctuation either.)
This turned out to be a pesky little problem. Smoothing air out of a bag full of batter? Without the batter also escaping? It was a very delicate situation, touch and go there for a while, but I prevailed! As far as I can tell, my bag is air free.
Behold! Day 6!Missed something?
Day 3 | Day 5
