Put 1 cup of starter in each of three containers, give to friends and keep one for yourself to start again. This will begin their DAY 1. You can give them away in ziplock bags, but make sure you tell your friends to "burp" the bag about twice daily.
To the remaining batter add:
1 cup oil
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3 eggs
1 large box or two small boxes vanilla pudding mix
2 tsps cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Beat with fork until well blended. If desired, add
one cup raisins or nuts or chocolate chips, but the
bread is good plain. Grease 2 loaf pans with butter & sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 325 degrees for one hour or until you have a clean fork when poked in the middle.
