I have four bags of starter on my counter. I wish I could give you one or two! There are tons of versions out there on the web. Do you need just the recipe for the bread or for the starter?
This helped me out a lot with mine...

AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD
SOURDOUGH STARTER (Do Not Refrigerate) :
1/2 tsp. active dry yeast
1 oz. warm water
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. flour
1 c. milk (room temperature)
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Place all ingredients into a bowl and stir until mixture is creamy. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place to ferment for 2 days. It will bubble and have a sour odor. After the second day, you start your Friendship Bread. Should have 1 cup of starter.
Take your 1 cup of starter: Day 1-2-3-4 stir each day. Day 5 add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk. Stir well and put in a larger container. Day 6-7-8-9 stir each day. Day 10 add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk. Stir and put 1 cup of mixture in a container. (This is your starter for next time you want bread.) Put a lid on the container. If you have 2 friends to give a starter, take 1 cup each and put in 2 other containers with lids and pass on to friends. If you only take out 1 cup of starter, you have enough to make 4 loaves of quick bread; if the 3 cups are taken out, you have only 2 cups of starter left and that only makes 2 loaves of bread.
QUICK BREADS:
To this 2 cups of starter, add the following ingredients: 1 c. sugar 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt 3 eggs 2 c. flour 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder 2 tsp. cinnamon
Mix together well. Pour into 2 greased loaf pans. (I spray with Pam, etc.) Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. Can add nuts or sprinkle top with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
I also add chopped apples, bananas, zucchini, rhubarb, pumpkin (I add about 1/2 teaspoon cloves and 1/2 teaspoon allspice), fruit cocktail (drained), pineapple (drained) or raisins. I add 1 cup per loaf. The last time on my chopped apple, I added 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg with the cinnamon. I add the cinnamon as in the recipe above before I put the fruit in.
If you have 4 cups of starter, double this recipe. (If you take out 1 starter, you will have enough to double and have 4 loaves.)
WHITE BREAD:
Go through the procedure for 10 days. After taking out your starter to keep, you have approximately 4 cups of batter left. DO NOT ADD THE INGREDIENTS FOR QUICK BREADS.
This recipe is for 2 cups. If you have 4 cups, double this recipe.
Approximately 2 c. starter
2 c. potatoes, mashed (we use instant potatoes & mix according to instructions), add HOT
1 tsp. salt (if you put salt in the instant potatoes, do not add this)
1/3 c. oil
Flour (enough to make a soft dough)
Knead until smooth, place in bowl, cover with waxed paper and let rise. I set mine in my oven, which has a pilot light, and let rise overnight. However, this is not necessary, just let rise until double in bulk. Punch down and let rise again. Shape into 2 loaves and place in bread pan. Bake about 45 minutes at 350 degrees, or until golden brown.
