This bread is a starter type bread, once you start it, you'll want to keep making it or your starter will go bad/ take over the kitchen. It's called friendship bread b/c you can give some of the starter to all your friends (just make sure you have a bunch!)
To start starter, mix 1 packet of yeast with 1 cup each of flour, sugar, & milk in a loosely covered container. Or receive from a friend.
Store Starter on the counter, DO NOT refrigerate (unless you'll be away for awhile, in which case it can keep for a week w/ no additions in the fridge)
Day 1: Do nothing.
Day 2-5: Stir and let out any built up gas at least once each day.
Day 6: Add 1 cup each of flour, sugar, and milk. Mix.
Day 7-9: Stir and let out any built up gas at least once each day.
Day 10: Place 1 cup starter in large mixing bowl. Add 1 cup each of flour, sugar, and milk to original starter container; measure out 1 cup for each of 3-4 new starters (for friends) being sure to keep at least 1/2 cup for yourself.
(Note: If you don't want that much extra starter or you don't have that many friends, you can skip days 6-9)
Preheat oven to 325° F
To starter in mixing bowl: add 1 cup oil, ½ cup milk, 3 eggs, 1 tea vanilla
In a separate bowl: combine 2 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 package (3.4 oz./ 96 g) vanilla instant pudding, 2½ tea cinnamon, (1 cup chopped nuts, optional)
Combine bowls, Mix until blended but do not over beat.
Grease 2 bread pans & dust with cinnamon and sugar.
Pour mix equally into pans, sprinkle the top with more cinnamon and sugar.
Bake at 325° F for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
