Amish Friendship Bread 1st Attempt

edited November -0001 in EggHead Forum
Got mine from Grandpa's Grub and wasn't sure what to expect. Turns out it's more of a dessert than a bread. And a pretty darn good dessert at that.

Took some to my neighbor along with a starter bag. They liked it too, and will start 'mashing the bag' tomorrow.

Here's what mine looked like.

I may try it again before I pass it on.

Thanks Kent...

    Looks good Leroy. I have my starters to give out as well and decided to keep one myself. Did you do yours on the egg?

    I did it as a bundt cake and it turned out great.

    Decided against doing it on the Egg. Next time I will though. And probably use the bundt pan. I really like the flavor using the vanilla pudding. Don't think I would like the chocolate pudding.

    I told Spring Hen now I know why it takes an hour to bake. That's how long it takes to clean up the mess I made in the kitchen LOL...

    Goes really good with strong dark roast Community Coffee.

    It really is more like a dessert. I did not notice even the faintest hint of smoke in mine, and I had done 20# of pork the day before in that same egg.

    I took about 1:15 to get done, but it really cooked nice and even. I am definitely keeping it going.

    Didn't think of it as a coffee cake, but I bet that is good with it. Thanks for the breakfast idea!

    Leroy,

    Glad you liked it. I had the same thoughts about 'bread' but heck, I didn't name it. I like the vanilla and the banana was pretty good.

    My wife and one grand kid likes the chocolate so I put up with it.

    I will be mixing, baking and shipping out some more to morrow or the next day.

    If anyone else wants to give it a try let me know.

    It does look good Chicken! Bet it will be good in the morning with a strong pot. You need to let me fix you a good "real" double expresso. When you want strong coffie you'll throw the perked in the trash! ;) Wife has been on me to make some of that coffie sticks (biskotti) or something like it. Got a link saved. Have to get around to it soon. Baking weather is hear! :laugh:
