Personal Notes:
I added the juice from crushed pineapple in place of part of the milk *use balance to come up to milk measurement) and a can of crushed pineapple along with using banana cream instant pudding instead of the vanilla. This gave the bread a tropical taste!!!

Very good! May want to keep an extra starter for yourself around the holidays. Makes a nice little gift!
