A neighbor of mine brought by a starter bag for Amish Friendship Bread a few days ago. I got a bag years ago, just after Chris and I got married, but totally forgot to bake it on the tenth day. I was determined this time to stay on top of it. I'm glad I did. I never bake bread, I'm horrible at it, but since this is more of a pound cake I gave it a go. Mmm! Mmm! Chris and I pounded down one of the loaves in a matter of minutes. One of the things about Amish Friendship bread, is it comes with a little instruction sheet that you're supposed to copy and send along with the starter bags. And . . . woops . . . I wrote all over my sheet before copying it off. My first thought was to white out the writing and then copy the instructions. Then my brain woke up: Why white-out on a sheet in order to save the comic sans instructions? Gross. I'm going to redesign it.  Now I'm sharing the download with you. I figure maybe some of you out there might be looking for a prettier handout with your bread starters. So here you go. Share with your friends. If you'd like to get started on your own Amish bread, you can find the instructions for making your own starter here.
