Okay, it has been years since I have made friendship bread but have some starter. The instructions call for using non-metallic utensils for mixing but nowhere does it say non metal for the baking pan. I am thinking I need to bake in non-metal.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Angie.

My daughter gave me some of this starter once; it baked just fine in an ordinary metal cake pan.

I just got the stuff to bake mine today, and mine specifed for a non-metal loaf pan - so I got some Pyrex ones. I dont know if it really matters, but it sure seemed like a good excuse to splurge on some new kitchen gadgets :) Enjoy your bread!

I use metal pans for it but my directions don't specify anything about the baking being in non-metal.

I have some starter bread doing its thing right now, and the instructions do say no metal for mixing or baking either. I have a glass pan I plan to use. I did not have any self rising flour, so I used the MJ biscuit mix. I am hoping it works as well, but my daughter said it has salt in it, and that is true, and the salt may not work in this batter....I will see, I guess....I may have ruined my starter. But I am going to bake it up and see if it works! MAybe when I add the next round of ingredients, I will buy a small bag of self-rising.
I just noticed all the posts are from everywhere in the country! New York, Utah, Florida, California....wow that batter sure gets around! How does one start it in the first place other than getting it from a friend?

I believe self-rising flour has salt in it, too. It's what works with the baking powder and baking soda to make it rise.

Oh good! Then maybe my batch will be okay! It seems to be doing alright so far. Thanks, Judith!

Jeannie, I think you really have to find someone who already has the starter, I did check out a web-site yesterday and you can buy the dry starter mix from them.

I'm wondering if there is a way I could mail you some? I am going to have some to give away in about five days, but then, you have to mush it up for a certain number of days and who would do that for us? Maybe I could add a note that all the postal workers who handled it had to give it a good mush before sending it on!!!
