My friend Maggie gave me a bag of dough. It's called Amish Sweet Bread, but it's a starter dough. You grow it over 10 days, doing nothing but letting it sit on your counter and giving it a nudge once a day. On day 4 you add a bit of sugar and flour but apart from that, you just let it sit and let the yeast work. On day 10, you add more sugar, flour, etc. Then you divide the starter in 5 parts. 3 parts are to give away (one cup each, in a new ziploc bag), one part is for your newest starter that you grow again over 10 days, and the last part is to actually bake. It's definitely not bread. It's pound cake. But oh my god is it delicious. Here's what it looks like when you make it:
