Amish Friendship Bread

Starter:
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar

Bread:
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 small box instant-vanilla-pudding mix
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup raisins, chocolate chips or nuts, optional

Cinnamon sugar:
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon

For starter:
Dissolve yeast in warm water in a deep glass, plastic container or half-gallon zipper-type bag. Stir in milk, flour and sugar. Beat until smooth. Cover. Your first batch of starter has fresh yeast, so skip 10-day directions and go directly to splitting your starter. Don’t refrigerate or use a metal spoon.
