This is similar to a recipe I already have for Amish bread, but my instructions for the bread called for a large pkg. of vanilla pudding, also. I think the instant kind.

Hmmm different from the directions I was given and the starter is in the fridge. They say to mush (press down on?) the bag days 3 through 6. Then again on day 7, and add flour and milk. But they don't seem to say, how to make more starter. I'd like to try your recipe.
