I used this to make a couple of cakes and a loaf of the best sourdough bread I have ever made. The bread turned out sweet but so delish!

I have used this several times with the starter I first began with Amish Friendship Bread and Starter. However that recipe is a 27 day starter so I tried this one with the starter I got from the end of those first 27 days. It worked great. I also used that bread recipe and it was great. Thanks for sharing. I am on my third round of starter and am excited to have this website to use.

Detailed & clear instructions. I have been using this recipe for over 6 years now, and it is a joy to see it on here! I would not know how to live a week without this working on my cabinet now! Please note: * this can be frozen in 1 1/4 cup measurements in ziplock bag, dated, for up to 6 mos. To use for baking, let thaw 8 hrs. To use for "starting" a new batch - let thaw and count as Day #1... Enjoy!!! ~Lady~

Thanks for posting this! We od it exactly the same way except we store the starter in a Ziploc bag (with the date clearly written on it so you don't lose track of the days), and "smoosh" the bag every day instead of stirring. You usually need to open the bag every day or so to "deflate" it, but it makes it easier to give it to others, and safer to store in your kitchen. You're wonderful, Kim! Thanks again!
