Well, he is a very good cook, but he is NOT a baker. I do all the baking. But, he really wanted to do it, so I decided not to try to help.<br /><br />He did all the smushing etc, and then the day came to make the bread. He had asked me to get the pudding. He didn't specify that it wasn't supposed to be instant pudding. first mistake. Then he decided to wing the measurements. Second mistake. He also did not grease the pan. third mistake. <br /><br />The result looked inedible. I decided not to try it. It sat on the counter for a few days until I threw it outside for the birds. <br /><br />I have pinned the recipe and I am going to make it the next time. Everyone raves about this bread, and I do want to try it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01818034807013386726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-20333842196018782792012-10-15T09:11:18.683-06:002012-10-15T09:11:18.683-06:00That happened to me also...

The first time I made it, my daughter couldn't get enough of it and made me make it at least once a week so I constantly had starter bags on the counter. After several moves I had lost the recipe and really missed making it. My daughter will love me when I hand her a starter. Hmmm maybe I'll just put one in her stocking for xmas LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-20753254493770725522012-09-05T20:35:31.925-06:002012-09-05T20:35:31.925-06:00I line my pans with aluminum foil when I make this...I line my pans with aluminum foil when I make this. You pop it out of the pan and just peel the foil off. I also only put the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the loaf and not down the sides. It makes a lovely crunchy topping. (I do the same with plain sugar for any sweet bread or muffin and it gives it a really professional looking finish.)<br />I had a blooper with friendship bread a few years ago. I hadn't made any in quite some time when my cousin gave me a bag. I thought her instructions looked a little funny but followed them anyway since it had been such a long time since I had made any. Well, I shouldn't have because when she was copying over the recipe, she replaced "tsp" with "tbs" for the baking soda and oh my word but that first batch was awful!Melissahttp://mmedesigns.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-52172724438296331612012-08-31T13:22:55.741-06:002012-08-31T13:22:55.741-06:00My family makes this all the time and we LOVE to p...My family makes this all the time and we LOVE to put chocolate chips in it!

I had gotten a starter bag from my Grandma, and everything was going just fine, as instructed - I had set the ziploc bag on the top of my microwave one evening, and awoke the next morning to find the ziploc bag had exploded from the pressure build up inside and a stick bread mixture was coated all down the front and sides of the microwave. Still not sure what went wrong - if the heat given off by the microwave made it react too quickly or what - but that spoiled my attempts at ever trying to make the bread again!clewis14864https://www.blogger.com/profile/18180878767413650558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-34547516223588998652012-08-29T13:14:45.596-06:002012-08-29T13:14:45.596-06:00My family always cooks Amish Friendship Bread in a...My family always cooks Amish Friendship Bread in a non-stick bundt pan, it is so easy and it doesn't stick.

We use the disposable aluminum pans (but haven't bought new ones in years.) We do use "spray", usually just olive or vegetable oil in a pump spray bottle. We liberally coat the pans with cinnamon sugar or other spice mixes--Pampered Chef has some awesome ones--by just pouring a bunch in and rotating the pan so it covers every square inch.<br /><br />You definitely have to let the loaves cool a bit before taking them out. Then we wrap them in foil and freeze them. :-)Rachelle Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09638943507887807623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-20460980274615113552012-08-07T18:51:09.836-06:002012-08-07T18:51:09.836-06:00Your corrections are spot on.
