The way it works is you let the bag ferment on your counter for days, then divide it up for other friends, using some for yourself. Sort of like drugs."I know, I know," Brooke said, "it's the culinary equivalent of the chain letter. But the bread is amazing." Containing as it does that well-known Amish ingredient, vanilla instant pudding.
I couldn't think of anyone I wanted to give a bag of beige goo, so the starter dough ended with me. I decided instead to share the finished product with friends.
More later on whether that happens.

Fermented Amish bread with instant vanilla pudding? It sounds yummy!
The results look delicious. What with your financial advise, and all else, you are fast becoming a Renaissance man. Have you tried vacuuming wit pearls yet?
I need to chime in here, freinds. While I do love my double-sided tape, I have never used a ruler to wrap a present. That is just plain scary.
I have some extra bread starter if anyone wants to try it.
Cool (if a little Type A) Neighbor Brooke
You obviously had not yet tasted your bread when you suggested you would be giving loaves away to friends. Because CNB is spot on with the "amazing" comment. Yum!
Hey, my dad had some beige goo on the counter in the kitchen when I went to visit him on Sunday. His little page of instructions checked off everyday he took care of it. I went over on Tuesday night and when he got home from work he was so excited to see the baggie all puffed up and fermented. He wanted to share the love, but I didn't have any of the ingrediants that you need to add and frankly didn't feel like buying them since I can't eat the bread itself - dieting. Does that make me not friendly to the Amish?
If there's a sudden run on vanilla pudding in the stores, you can instead use butterscotch pudding, which sounds even weirder but adds a mysteriously delectable element to the bread and may have people wondering "What IS that elusive flavor??"
