Homemade pudding can substitute for boxed pudding in an Amish friendship bread recipe. Amish friendship bread is a starter bread (meaning made from a live yeast starter) that takes 10 days to make. Even though it is called Amish friendship bread, there is nothing that directly ties the recipe or process to the Amish people. Part of the name is derived from the fact that once the starter is made initially, it is usually shared with other people who can make their own bread or cake from it and pass the starter on to others. Although traditionally made with boxed instant pudding, there are variations of the recipe that can be made as well.Make your own version of boxed pudding to substitute in the friendship bread. Add 3/4 cup of sugar in a bowl with 2 tbsp. of melted butter, 3 tbsp. of cornstarch, three egg yolks, 1 tsp. of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt in one bowl and mix well. Add the pudding substitute to the friendship bread batter. Add the remaining basic ingredients for Amish friendship bread, omitting the instant pudding and mix well. Brush two bread loaf pans with vegetable oil and lightly sprinkle sugar on them. Pour the batter into the pans and bake in a 325 degree F oven for one hour.
Substitute powdered sugar for the basic boxed pudding recipe. To equal the vanilla pudding mix, blend 3/4 cup of powdered sugar in a bowl with 2 tsp. vanilla extra, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg and one egg yolk in a small bowl, then add to the friendship bread batter. In another bowl, mix all of the ingredients for a basic friendship bread recipe, leaving out the instant pudding. Mix well and add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Lightly oil two bread loaf pans and sprinkle with sugar. Add the batter to the pans and bake in a 325 degree F oven for one hour.

In another bowl, mix 2/3 cup of cocoa powder, 1 1/2 tsp. of baking soda, 1 tsp. of salt, 2 cups of flour and 1/2 tsp. of baking powder. Mix the cocoa powder mixture with 3/4 cup of water and add to the batter. Grease two bread loaf pans with vegetable oil, sprinkle with sugar and add batter.

Incorporate two eggs into the batter mixture, then add the sugar mixture to the batter. Chop 1 cup of walnuts and 3 cups of apples, such as Granny Smith apples, and gently fold into the batter.
