I have made friendship bread several times with a gift
starter, and I have a pretty good guess as to how to make
one. This is slightly different than most sourdough-type
starters. I would either dissolve one package of dry active
yeast in a half cup of warm water or milk. If you use
water, add one cup milk, one cup flour, and one cup of
granulated sugar. If you use milk, add one half cup milk,
one cup flour, and one cup of granulated sugar. Set in a
warmish place, like near the stove, and stir once daily for
5-10 days. This makes about 3 cups of starter. Most
recipes for friendship bread that I've seen call for one
cup of starter to start out with, so as tradition dictates I
would keep a cup of starter for myself and give the other
two cups to two friends with the recipe.
