Anyone ever made their own starter for Amish Friendship Bread?

[Beth76]

I'm wanting to make my own starter for AFB. I did a search online and came up with two different recipes for it. One recipe called for 1c sugar, 1c milk and 1c flour, then mix and let sit for a few days. The other was the same, but added one packet of active yeast. I'm wondering which one I should try? Anyone done this before?

I have done it before, but without the yeast.

Geez, I have not had this in a long time. Maybe I should make some now that you sparked the thought into my head!

Without the yeast

thanks, I will try it without the yeast. Mmmm, it sounds so good to me right now. Too bad I'll have to wait 10 days.

I love sour dough bread and have tried a gazillion different time to make my own starter without any luck. I couldn't even keep a store bought starter alive.

Good luck to you! Home made bread is the best!
