Amish Friendship bread is one of my favorite breads to make! We originally got this recipe years ago from a friend, made it a couple times, and then it got stuck in the back of the recipe box. So, awhile back, we pulled it out and made a batch of starter. The bread is sweet, much more…

Have fun! For these little angels, you’ll…
