Day # 10 Pour and squeeze contents into a large plastic bowl. Add 1 cup milk, 1 cup flour, and 1 cup of sugar. Stir together and pour 4-1 cup starters into large Ziploc bags. Give these bags and a copy of the recipe to 4 friends. You'll have a small amount left in the bowl. Add to it 1 cup oil, 1/2 cup milk, 3 eggs and 1 tsp. vanilla

In a separate bowl mix together 2 cups flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 large box of instant vanilla pudding mix and 1 cup of chopped pecans (optional). Mix wet and dry ingredients.

Mix 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tsp. cinnamon and set aside.

Spray or rub oil on sides and bottom of 2 loaf pans (9 by 5 inches) or 1 bunt pan. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon mix to coat sides of the pan. Pour half batter into each loaf pan (or all the batter into bunt pan) and sprinkle remaining sugar/cinnamon mix on top.

Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour. If you wish send a small piece of the bread with your starters to your friends.
My friend Michelle gave me a starter and my boys loved it and wanted more (they liked all the sugar).
