Amish Friendship Bread Recipes Otherwise known as, "What To Do With Fred." These recipes should work with the Amish Friendship Bread Starter recipe from my site, or with other similar starters you might have received from friends. Really, the starter is just the yeast, some flour, milk, and sugar. That's the very basic level of ingredients. You can do all kinds of fun things with something that basic. Spice Bread: Really very basic, nice snacking bread. Chocolate Bread: Like cake, but not quite. Good for gift giving!
