Amish Bread?

[Alrikidokie]

My great aunt used to make what she called Amish Bread, does anyone know what this is or have the recipe? The only thing I remember is that it takes like ten days to make.

Yes!!! I've made this before! Well, if it's what I think you're talking about. An old coworker of mine gave me a starter once and I thought it was so neat. I have no idea what I did with the recipe she gave me but here's one I found online:
