What is dehydrated sourdough starter?
.
With this order, you will receive a packet of dried living organic sourdough starter (1/2 heaping tablespoon, or 7-8 grams) – enough to create an active, bubbly sourdough starter within one week of re-activation. We feed our sourdough starter 100% certified organic ingredients (organic bread flour, organic whole wheat flour, and/or organic all-purpose flour) and filtered water. The starter is dehydrated on a “living foods” (low heat) setting, effectively preserving the beneficial lactic acid bacteria and wild yeast within the starter. It is very much alive – it simply needs to be rehydrated and reactivated!
Once you reactivate your starter, you will have a lifelong supply of sourdough starter culture to use in any delicious homemade sourdough recipe – including rustic sourdough bread, fluffy focaccia, pizza crust, crackers, cornbread, and more!
Once you receive the dry starter:
.
– You can either reactivate it right away, or choose to wait. It will stay viable in powder form for approximately 6 months as long as it is stored in cool, dry, dark location (such as in an air-tight container in the refrigerator).
– The process of reactivating the dry starter takes about one week (with quick steps each day) and is very easy to do! See the full instructions to reactivate your dry sourdough starter by clicking here.
– To reactivate the dry starter, you will need a medium size glass container (e.g. a pint mason jar), all-purpose flour or bread flour, and filtered water.
Shipping: Free shipping via USPS First Class mail within the United States, and $12 shipping to Canada.
Return policy: We can’t provide returns/refunds for change of heart, or user error in re-activating the starter. However, if your order arrives damaged or with apparent issues, please let us know (take a photo) and we will make it right.

Still reconstituting the sourdough, but it’s coming along nicely. We’ve never done this before so we’re very excited and appreciative of the thorough step-by-step instructions.

I am a sourdough baker, who traveled across the country with my own dried sourdough starter to give to a friend who is interested in learning. After realizing that my starter wasn’t reviving, I panicked and ended up ordering one from you. Fast forward a 2 months later, and my friend is now a sourdough baking queen! Thank you for the easy instructions and fast delivery!

Bought it for my wife and it worked great.

Fast and quick delivery! I followed Deanna’s tips to rehydrate the starter (but shortened the time between the first feedings as the yeast got hungry faster than expected due to our tropical climate). My first two sourdough loaves were a success, can’t wait to bake more!

This starter is so EASY! I’ve tried on my own before, with no success. Now, I’m making sourdough EVERYTHING!
Breanna (verified owner) –
Highly recommend! I got this a while back but sadly killed it so just grabbed another one. Super easy to reactivate and was sooo yummy! The starter smells so good and fresh too! This is my fav place to grab them!

The family loves the sourdough. Nothing beats homemade. Especially love how easy it was to make. The detailed instructions were very helpful. My favorite part was naming my starter.
