Amish Brioche

Dear Turkey,

First, I would like to say that this is Amish Bread because the ingredients came from our awesome Amish store (henceforth known as The Amish Trader Joe's), not because it is Amish Friendship Bread, which I hate. To me, Amish Friendship Bread is everything that you shouldn't do with a starter.

Second, this is Amish Bread because it is a template for the spreading of all kinds of delicious-and-calorie-rich butters and jams that can be purchased at The Amish Trader Joe's (complete with gas lamps AND solar panels) for cheap. 

Amish Ingredients (yes, all of these things can be purchased at The Amish Trader Joe's):

1/2 c Amish butter, melted

1 c Amish whole milk maple or vanilla yogurt

2 Amish eggs

1 T Amish yeast 

1 T Amish sugar

1 T Amish salt

1/3 c Amish [or Tofu] sourdough starter (optional but it really adds a lot here)

Enough Amish white flour to make it just cross over from a batter to a dough (probably a cup of two)

The dough should not be dry enough to knead by hand; just give it a few (or a few hundred, if you have excess energy to burn, which I don't) really good strokes with a spoon and let it rise, covered, until it looks like this (a few hours, depending on the temperature of your house):

Bake at 350 Amish degrees in a buttered dish (sprinkle some sugar on top before you put it in the oven), for about 45 mins, or until it looks like this:

I Amish moss you,

Tofu
