• Measure out 4 separate cups of batter and put 1 cup each into 4 one-gallon Ziploc bags.
o Keep a start for yourself and give the others to 3 friends along with a copy of the recipe. Should this not be passed on to a friend on the first day, be certain to tell a friend which day the bag is at when presented to them.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• To the remaining batter in the bowl add:
o 3 eggs
o 1 cup oil (or ½ cup oil and ½ cup applesauce)
o ½ cup milk
o 1 cup sugar
o 2 teaspoons cinnamon
o ½ teaspoon vanilla
o 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
o ½ teaspoon baking soda
o ½ teaspoon salt
o 2 cups flour
o 1 large box instant vanilla pudding

• Grease 2 large loaf pans. In a separate bowl mix ½ cup sugar and 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon. (dust the greased loaf pans with half of this mixture)
• Pour the entire batter evenly in the two pans and sprinkle the remaining sugar mix over the top.
• Bake 1 hour. Cool until bread loosens from the pan evenly (about 10 minutes) turn out onto a serving dish.

Serve warm or cold. If you keep a starter for yourself you will be baking every 10 days. The bread is good and makes a great gift. Only the Amish know how to create the starter.
