This is a recipe that a friend gave me. It's really great and versitile. AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD First you have to make a starter. Do that by putting 1 CUP PLAIN FLOUR 1 CUP SUGAR 1 CUP MILK In a glass jar with a lid,stir it with a wooden spoon for the next four days,  on the 5th day "FEED IT" by adding another cup of each ingredient. Do this  three times. After that you can use it to bake and you can share it with  friends. To Bake: 1 Cup Mix 2/3 Cup Oil 2 Cups plain flour 1 Cup sugar 3 Eggs 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspon cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 box instant pudding 1 cup shopped nuts Grease and SUGAR two(2) loaf pans and divide the mixture into them. Bake at  350 Degrees for 40 to 50 Minutes. HINTS: I have substituted all kinds of flavors of pudding in this recipie. To make  Banana Nut I use banana pudding and banana flavoring, for chocolate I use  Choc. Pudding, vanilla flavoring, and I add chocolate chips. I have also made  coconut. Just use your imagination! When you need to start a new batch just  start at the begining again! I make them in mini loaves and give them at  Christmas!
