i just made a batch of "Amish Friendship Bread" that employs a starter i've had to baby for the past 9 days. a friend gave me the starter in a plastic bag. (thus, the name of the bread) it's very tasty, the bread, sweet and good with coffee. i'm going to take it to work and share the joy, along with some starter created from my own batch.

the question is...how does one create the starter?

or is all this still being passed on by the original starter?

a baking chain letter, i like it.
