In reply to Julie. You can freeze it and then remove from freezer and start where you left off.

How can this be stored if not baking within the 10 days?

In reply to Sandy. You can also freeze bags of starter, then thaw when you are ready to bake!

In reply to Emily. Ty Emily. Wish me luck. I have 8 bags of starter and no one wants a bag. Lol. So I would have 10 loaves? My hubby will be happy!! Ty again, sandy

In reply to Sandy. Yes, still divide into four separate parts (plus what is leftover in the bowl) and then you would need to make the recipe five times total, once for the remainder and then for each portion that would have gone into a bag. Once for each bag of starter. Does that make sense?

Hi. I have a question. We have too many bags of starter. We finished day 6. On day 10 can I use 1 whole bag of starter for bread instead of making 4 other bags? Do I have to add more ingredients? Ty

Should I use self-rising flour for the starter and for baking or all purpose?

I’ve made this before but I’ve not been the one to start it before. It’s been several years since I’ve made it so I just want to clarify. So after the initial 10 day starter, if I give a friend a bag from my starter she can either a) continue on another 10 days to share it with others or b) she can add the ingredients and bake the bread & be done with it. Is that correct?
