MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
      2 tb Brown sugar
    1/2 ts Cinnamon

MMMMM---------------------------BREAD--------------------------------
      2 c  A-P flour
      1 c  Sugar
  3 3/8 oz Box instant vanilla pudding
           - powder
      2 ts Cinnamon
      1 ts Baking powder
    1/2 ts Baking soda
    1/2 ts Salt
      2 lg Eggs
      1 c  Amish friendship starter
    3/4 c  Buttermilk
    1/2 c  Oil
    1/3 c  Whole milk
      1 ts Vanilla extract
 
  CREATE THE STARTER: You can skip this step if someone has given you
  a cup of starter.
  
  In a container made of glass, glazed ceramic or plastic, dissolve
  yeast in warm water and let sit for 10 minutes. Then, add 1 cup
  each of sugar, flour, and milk. Stir well, cover loosely with cling
  wrap and set aside at room temperature.
  
  Once a day on days two through five, stir the starter.
  
  On the sixth day, feed your starter 1 cup each of sugar, flour, and
  milk. Stir well.
  
  Once a day on days seven through nine, stir the starter.
  
  On day 10, feed your starter again with 1 cup each of sugar, flour,
  and milk. You will use 1 cup in the recipe. You can give the other
  two cups to two friends (along with a copy of this recipe!), keep
  one cup for next time and give one cup to a friend, or use all
  three cups to bake three loaves and give two away. The key is to
  gift some of what you've made: That's what makes this "friendship"
  bread.
  
  PREPARE PAN AND TOPPING: Set oven @ 350 F/175 C.
  
  Grease and flour loaf pan. Using your fingers or a fork, combine
  brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  
  MIX DRY INGREDIENTS: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar,
  pudding powder, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  
  MIX WET INGREDIENTS: Crack eggs into a medium bowl and whisk until
  combined. Add Amish friendship starter, buttermilk, canola oil,
  milk, and vanilla extract. Mix with whisk or wooden spoon until
  uniform.
  
  COMBINE WET & DRY INGREDIENTS: Pour wet ingredients into dry
  ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to
  overmix. Pour mixture into greased and floured loaf pan. Smooth top
  of batter with a wooden spoon or spatula. Sprinkle with
  cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  
  BAKE, COOL AND SERVE: Bake on center rack of oven, 45 to 55
  minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and
  cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and cool
  completely on wire rack before slicing and serving.
