I am hoping that someone here is familiar with using the Amish
Friendship Bread Starter to make the cake-like breads. My question
comes about because at the beginning of the Starter use instruction
there is warning to not use metal dishes or metal utensils.

I imagine there may be reason during the ten day process of "mushing"
the starter for five, adding the milk, flour and sugar on day six,
mushing more days to then add milk, flour and sugar again on day ten
to remove four starters. But what about this tenth day of adding all
the other ingredients to bake just "your own" two loaves? Is it okay
to use my KA Mixer's metal bowl and flat blade at that point, being
only for two loaves immediately baked?

Use wooden spoons or plastic, and put the starter in a large ziplock ( you
usually get it that way...I always gave it in one.
No on the KA bowl, glass only. I used to make five batches, kept one and gave
two away, then I had two to make the bread or buns... loved the cinnamon
bread... thick sliced with butter and raspberry jam.

Why not metal? I can understand no aluminum, but why would a few
minutes in a stainless steel bowl be harmful?

Did you really think "I don't know" answered the question adequately?

It's stainless steel. Of course it's OK.

Some people just like making up lots of extra rules for things that
should be simple (be glad you never played Canasta with my grandmother.)

There's a reason the directions say no metal, but then you never one to follow
directions were you?

PickyJaz ...

Here's the link to the recipe for the starter and directions for feeding it
that we used.There are a great deal of recipes in which you can use the starter
in as well.
