Do not use metal spoon or bowl for mixing
Do not refrigerate
It is normal for batter to raise, bubble, and ferment
If air gets in the bag, let it out
Day 1 The day you receive the batter, do nothing (this is the day it is baked)
Days 2-5 Squeeze the bag
Day 6 Add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk, and squeeze the bag
Days 7-9 Squeeze the bag
Day 10 In a large (non-metal!) bowl, combine the batter from the bag with 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup milk. Mix with wooden spoon or spatula thoroughly.
Now you have two choices: Put 3 one cup starters into gallon ziplock bags, keeping one for yourself and giving two away for friends (with instructions) , following the recipe below, OR only keeping 1 one cup starter for yourself (I just reuse the same bag) and then doubling the recipe.
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Add the following ingredients to the remaining batter in the bowl:
Single
Double
Pour into 2 large greased and sugared loaf pans. Any extra sugar/cinnamon mixture can be sprinkled on the top of the batter. Bake for 1 hour. Cool for 10 minutes and remove from pans. Makes 2 (or 4) loaves.
Vanilla pudding is the basic flavor. Feel free to substitute other flavors, such as lemon, butterscotch, coconut crème, or chocolate. ( I don’t add the cinnamon when making flavors other than vanilla—personal preference) Also, additions of 1 cup chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips are good, too. Using chocolate pudding with chocolate chips tastes just like Costco muffins—yum! Also, muffin pans work great, as does a bundt cake pan. Just be sure to adjust the times. (You can check for doneness by inserting a butter knife into the cake/bread.)
