Friendship Bread
Ingredients
- 1¼ cups Friendship Bread Starter (recipe below)
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 1 box instant vanilla pudding
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Topping: ¾ cup sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Optional: Chocolate chips, chopped nuts, raisins, dried cranberries, chopped apple, grated carrot or zucchini, chopped mango (drain if very juicy)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Spray pans with baking spray or grease with vegetable oil. In a large, nonmetal bowl, add 1¼ cup starter. Add sugar, milk, oil, eggs and vanilla and combine. In a separate bowl, combine flour, pudding mix, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir into starter mixture. Stir in optional add-ins. In a separate bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Dust bottom and sides of greased pans. Divide batter among pans and sprinkle remaining cinnamon sugar on tops. Bake mini-loaves about 45 minutes until a toothpick comes out dry. Larger loaves will take about 1 hour. Cool at least 30 minutes on a rack before turning out of the pans to cool completely.
Notes
Makes 6 mini-loaves or 2 9x5” loaves
