I love Amish Friendship Bread but I only make it once a year so we don't die from glycemic overload. I stoked to find a healthy recipe to try with it. I'm getting my starter out of the freezer today! And my stance on the metal thing has always been that I don't use metal during the 10-day "resting" phase, but on baking day I use what I want because I didn't think it could really make that much difference.

I love them for the fiber and taste! My 18 month old niece - who is a PICKY eater - just LOVES them. The last batch I subbed in an extra cup of oats for 1 cup of whole wheat and added raspberries :) Thank you for this perfect recipe!

Just squish it and forget it. I found it interesting that the starter bags I popped into the freezer haven't frozen completely. Then I realized, there's probably enough alcohol in them, it's preventing a hard freeze. Using a plastic bag is so much easier, anyway. Just squish it and forget it.

It's safe to use decent-quality stainless steel with the Amish friendship starters as well as sourdough (wild yeast) starters. Aluminum should not be used, nor should poor quality stainless steel that flakes, chips, stains, and rusts like the stuff I get here in Sri Lanka. The acid from the starter can leach metals into the starter, and that changes which bacteria and yeast can grow along with making it taste awful. I speak from personal experience on the cheap quality stainless steel front. :) Yeah, their instructions about no metal aren’t very clear.
