The Friendship Bread

The Amish love sharing and this explains the concept of the Amish friendship bread. This is sourdough bread that is passed around to the weak and needy. However, in some communities, it is a sourdough starter that the baker shares with members of the community so they can make their own bread.

According to traditional Amish practices, we should source everything for the recipe from natural resources. The milk should be fresh from the cow, and grains milled fresh to make the flour.
