I found the following recipe for Amish friendship bread on Cooks.com.

On Day 1: In glass or plastic bowl, combine 1 cup sugar, 1 cup flour and 1
cup milk. Stir mixture with wooden or plastic spoon (don't use metal spoon
or electric mixer). Cover bowl loosely with paper towel, cloth, wax paper or
plastic wrap. Keep at room temperature (don't refrigerate).

My question is whether or not it is safe to use milk in the recipe and then
leave it sit out on the counter for ten days?

Yes it's safe. The milk sours, and the bacteria and yeast that cause it
to sour out-compete everything except certain molds; and you use the
starter before it molds.

If you are still squeamish about leaving the milk out (and you want to
use a real sourdough starter), mix flour and bottled water until it
looks like runny pancake batter, cover with a paper towel, and let it
sit on the counter for a few days until it gets foamy. Once it gets
going, you feed it with more flour and water -- and you can use tap
water once it's going without the chlorine killing the starter.

I doubt a glass of milk will damage your counter.

How old do you suppose this recipe is? How long do you think people have
been making this recipe and letting it sit out on the counter?

There you go. Thinking logically. It's a bad habit to get into. Next
you'll be saying it's ok to chew every mouthful less than 40 times.
And that we shouldn't be terrified of raw eggs.

I'm sorry. I just don't know what came over me. I'll try and refrain from
having these logical moments in the future. :-)

Unless it was made by some wop idiots you hired and then insulted.
They have talent you never figured on.
