I was concerned about the leftover bags and finding something to do with them each time. The first time I made the bread I did a triple batch and gave bread as gifts to 4-H judges but do not need this much each time. Made a batch of bread yesterday and now I am freezing and also reduced the amount of milk, flour and sugar I use to feed the starter so I will have less starter. will see how this works. Tried banana pudding and mashed banana and it was a hit with my son. Just wondering if anyone has tried using butterscotch chips and pudding? enjoyed reading and learning about starter. cook a lot but this is the first time I can remember doing the starter.

Hi,
I have a starter that I’ve made from scratch, I’m currently on day 2, but I was wondering on day 10 (since I won’t have starters to give away) if I could just take a cup for myself to bake with and freeze the left over starter until I’m ready to bake again?

If you are starting from scratch, you better wait till day 10 to bake bread...but if you are feeding a starter someone passed along to you, then you are okay to speed up the process by a couple of days. I have never baked it earlier than Day 8 of the process, but you could try it. No need to add anything different, just follow the directions as if you were on Day 10. Hope this helps!

Should I do anything extra to the batter/starter at that point to make it come out right? Can I bake Amish Friendship bread on Day 6 instead of Day 10?

After reading all the posts, I saw this suggestion twice... cut back on the amount of "feed" but keep it within proportion. Has anyone had success wih this? I would like to keep my starter going, not have to overload my friends, and not overload my freezer. Hence... Does feeding it less really keep the starter alive at the same time as just producing less? Thanks! Thanks Ladies for all the insight.

I would like to ask her for the recipes of all the brothers. Thank you. P.S. I am experimenting on an even more abbreviated version for the single person and will post it when I have it in recipe format.

I did get the different posts from different blog pages and different years! I have read through the original page, the FAQ page, and easier page! I work at a Dr.'s office and a patient brought in a loaf for our staff, and we just loved it! She brought us each in a bag of starter about a week later, with basic instructions. I found your blog searching out answers to my many questions about the details involved! I really do appreciate your patience and willingness to share your knowledge with us beginners! And the fact that you answer the same questions over and over again! If I understand correctly, on baking day when you add the 2cups flour, 3 eggs, oil or applesauce, milk, etc. you need 1 cup of starter. For me I think that yields 2 9x5 bread loafs. Hope life is treating you and your family well! God Bless! Cindy Hi Mary! I did get the different posts from different blog pages and different years!
