hi!I have made this before but THIS starter seems to be acting wierd.I had this starter in the freezer, thawed it and began the 10 day process. I am on day 7 and the bag has not filled with air and the starter smells fermenty. Not sure if i should continue or toss. Advice please :(
 
Thanks for posting! I'm sorry you haven't received any responses thus far. Do you have any additional information or can you rephrase your post to make it clearer?
 
I would start over. I have attached a recipe I have used. I don't think it freezes well, but that is just me.

I'm no help at all. I haven't made Amish Friendship Bread for over 20 years. If I remember correctly, some of the fruit does partially ferment. Hope you figure out the answer.
 
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that your starter is not behaving as expected. It's possible that the starter may have gone bad during the freezing process, which can affect the fermentation process. I would recommend starting over with a fresh starter to ensure the best results. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Happy cooking!
