Day 1: Receive starter from a friend (or day marked on bag)

Day 6: Add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup milk. Mush the bag.
Day 7: Mush the bag.
Day 8: Mush the bag.
Day 9: Mush the bag.
Day 10: Follow instructions below:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Pour the entire contents into a non-metal bowl.
3. Add 1 1/2 cup flour, 1 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 1/2 cup milk.
4. Measure out 4 separate batters of 1 cup each into 1-gallon Ziploc bags. Keep a "starter" for yourself and give the other three to friends on the first day. Be certain to tell your friend which day the bag is on when presenting it to them. It is helpful to mark the bag with the start date.
5. To the remaining batter (approx 1 3/4 cup) add first 6 ingredients. Mix well. In separate bowl, combine remaining dry ingredients. Add to batter, mixing just to blend.
6. Grease 2 large loaf pans. In a separate bowl mix 1/2 cup sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Dust the greased pans with half of the mix.
7. Pour batter evenly into the 2 pans and sprinkle remaining sugar mix on top.
8. Bake for approximately 1 hour. Cool until bread loosens from pan evenly (about 10 minutes). Turn out onto cooling rack. Serve warm or cold.
If you keep a starter for yourself you will be making bread every 10 days. The bread is very good and makes a great gift. Rumor has it that only the Amish people know how to create the starter, but if you look closely you might be able to find the recipe for yourself :-)
