See what I mean? Let's say you have a total of 6 cups starter when you've measured it all, well, that will be simple, just double all your ingredients for the bread you're going to bake. You can have fun with making different kinds of bread by separating the batter as well. Then just bake it all up and enjoy! Hope this makes sense, let me know if you have further Q's!

So, once I add the sugar, flour and milk, do I have to split it up before adding the rest of the ingredients and then add those ingredients to each one to bake? Or do I add the rest of the ingredients to the "big" batch and then split it up into different pans to bake? I apologize for the questions, but I don't want to mess it up and have it ruined!! :) Thanks Mary!

No need to save any back. Your friends or co-workers would probably rather eat up that fresh bread than get a starter anyway! Especially if they've already been hit up! ;O) Hope this helped, Mary Hi Carrie,

Can I bake with what I have on Day 10 without adding the extras? I ask because I have 3 bags in the freezer at Day 9 and don't want to keep freezing or giving away all the time (running out of people!). I can't bring myself to add those ingredients, split into 4 bags and then have to throw them away. Thanks in advance for any help!!

I am happy to say it worked out fine. The bread baked up just like normal with no problems. Thanks- Hi Mary- So I asked about the start that was in my freezer for 2 years and I wanted to report back.

Low calorie version: substitute with Splenda for baking. Splenda did not work good in the 10 day fermentation process. You can substitute whole grain for flour, healthy oil varity and do on. Only the starter must be virgin :) Karma Vance, Try only half the pan filled for baking.
