Feeding Your Amish Starter

I have found 2 different methods of feeding your starter, both will product bread, but if you feel overwhelmed with baking every 10 days, you can create less starter by using smaller portions of the ingredients. With all the wonderful recipes availabe, I have not come to the point where I want less starter, I want MORE. My family dreads the 10 days between loaves. They love, love, love the friendship bread. But if you have a smaller family and less time, you might want to try the reduced starter recipe.
