So, a week ago Friday, Julieanne brought home a bag of mix with daily instructions that would eventually become friendship bread. Considering that she's barely home and leaving for a cruise, it became my little project. Here's what it looked like when we started.
For the first four days, you just squeeze the mixture in the bag (mash the bag). Along with NO refrigeration and letting air out of the bag as it builds up. On the 5th day, I added a cup of flour, a cup of sugar and a cup of milk...mixing together by squeezing while still in the bag. That's when it really started to rise.
Three more days of squeezing and letting air out brings us to today. The 10th day - adding another 1 1/2 cups of sugar, flour and milk. Stir it all together and measure four 1 cup portions - this goes in separate bags to be shared.
With the remaining mixture, I added eggs, oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, baking soda, instant pudding, more milk, sugar and flour. Drizzle the bottom of two baking dishes with sugar and cinnamon and divide the batter between the two. Top off with sugar and cinnamon and bake for an hour.
Once done baking, cool completely, slice and enjoy! Wow, this is good stuff! So good, I don't know if I want to share! Ha!
For those of you who know me well, YES, I did it - hard to believe, huh?!
Has anyone else made this before?
