What is friendship bread?

[elaine l]

A long long time ago I remember a friendship bread. You passed some of the dough (I think it was dough) to a friend and they made a loaf. Then they passed part of the dough to another friend and so on and so on. I was only about 20 then so my memory fails me (now that I am slightly older!) Was it some kind of sourdough?

My MIL starts it every year. I'm not sure of the starter but you add a cup each of milk, sugar and flour every 5 days or so.
I can get the starter recipe if you need it, I have the other directions.
