Can you freeze Amish bread?
Yes, you can freeze Amish bread. I just ate the last two slices of Amish bread that I baked the first week in January. I put ywo loaves in the freezer about two days after I had baked it. I took it out about a week ago in April, it was just as good as when I first baked it, in fact Amish bread tastes better to me when it has aged. I even freeze the starter. The starter does not freeze completely it just stops the rising action. I had that starter in the freezer for over a year took it out of the freezer and set it on the counter over night and I consider the next day my "first day" of the bread baking process.

You are making the Amish Friendship bread you forgot to add the ingredients on day 6 Will this mess up the recipe?
Yes, you can use it the next day. A sourdough starter is used to make this bread. Provided that you look after your sourdough starter, feed it, and keep it growing in the conditions it likes, then there is no reason why this one starter can not be used again and again and again. Some people have starters they made themselves, and they are over 15 years old. With a sourdough starter, the flavour can change over time, reflecting the yeasts that are in your home. If your started develops a taste you don't like then you may want to create a new starter. http://www.sourdoughhome.com/startingastarter.html - will give you more information on how to create a sourdough starter.

Leave out the yeast sponge, and you end up with an inedible brick instead of bread. Sourdough breads save the expense and bother of buyig yeast, and can give you a greatly enhanced taste.
