fiftyseven: out of the oven

yesterday was day 10 for my amish friendship bread, that means it was baking day! the bag had been unrefrigerated & fermenting since i received it. so, when i opened it, the dough smelt a lot like glue - not very appetizing. i didn't actually read the recipe before i started putting everything together, i assumed that since the recipe is from the amish there would be no surprise ingredients. of course, i was wrong. apparently, the amish use vanilla/chocolate powdered pudding (who knew?). luckily, i managed to find a box in the cupboard. it expired october '07, but i still used it. it tasted and looked perfectly fine. after adding a ton of sugar and and chocolate chips it was ready to bake. one of the loaves is already finished and i plan on bringing the other one with me to work.
