Ingredients

RULES

DO NOT USE ANY METAL UTENSILS.

Use a glass bowl and wooden spoon.

DO NOT REFRIGERATE until after the 10th day.

Ingredients

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast

1/4 cup warm water (110° F/45° C)

3 cups all-purpose flour, divided

3 cups white sugar, divided

3 cups warm milk (110°F/45°C), divided

Directions

Day 1

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Let stand 10 minutes. In a 2 quart container (glass), combine 1 cup flour and 1 cup sugar. Mix thoroughly or flour will lump when milk is added. Slowly stir in 1 cup milk and dissolved yeast mixture. Cover loosely and let stand at room temperature until bubbly.

Day 2 to Day 4

Stir starter with a wooden spoon.

Day 5

Stir in 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk.

Day 6 to Day 9

Stir only.

Day 10

Stir in 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk. Remove 1 or 2 cups to make your first bread, give three cups to friends along with the recipe. Store the remaining starter in a container in the refrigerator and begin the 10 day process over again. You can also freeze this starter in 1 cup measures for later use. Frozen starter will take at least 3 hours at room temperature to thaw before using.

NOW YOUR READY TO BAKE YOUR BREAD

Place the 1 or 2 cups of batter you removed to make your bread in a mixing bowl. Add the following and mix well:

1 cup oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups all-purpose flour

3 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup milk

1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 large box instant vanilla pudding powder

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 cup nuts

Optional 1/2 cup raisins OR 1/2 cup chocolate chips, chopped up marashino cherries etc

Pour mixture into 2 greased and sugared loaf pans. Bake at 325°F for 1 hour or until knife inserted comes clean. Cool for at least 10 minutes and remove from pans.

Directions

Above:

You can also change the flavors to suit yourself, for instance Coconut Instant Pudding and add coconut to your bread.

Chocolate pudding add chocolate chips and nuts

Banana pudding, add some banana's

Lemon pudding add some poppy seeds

Let your imagination be your guide, many combination that you can make up.

Hi Henrie! I make tis bread every 10 days and freeze the loaves I make. But, how do I freeze the starter? Do I wait until day 10 and freeze it? Then when I'm ready to bake it, take it out and thaw and add the rest of ingredients and bake? I've always wondered how I could do this. I love this bread though! I take it to my ladies Bible study and they LOVE it. Everyone does! I have to try hard to not eat it much b/c I'm trying to be good:)! Thanks! Emily

Thanks Henrie for this recipe. I have been a slave to this bread for months. My husband and friends love it. I didn't know how to start it so I just kept feeding it. I know why frecapt has named it Herman. It definitely can become a member of the family.

One thing we do different is put it in a gallon plastic freezer bag. It's easier to keep and you can just squish it together. You don't have to stir!

I got a starter from luvshk a few months ago...kept it going for a lil while..lost a couple of friends along the way..haha just kidding..I finally ended up putting the starts that I had in the freezer not knowing if I should or not. But now I know it's ok..thanx henrie.
I probably won't start this myself. I'll just wait for luv to throw me a starter again. :)

Hi henri, I have used this recipe alot in the past, but I put the ingredients in a large zip-lock bag. I think I've tried just about every pudding mix there is with this recipe, as well as choc. chips, nuts...this is good bread!
