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.

The bread is fantastic. Making my 2nd loaf now. It’s awesome to always have a starter in my fridge. Good instructions too. I add 15 grams of salt now.

My starter, Ann is doing great! I’ve already made a lot of food with her.
Myra (verified owner) –
I had to go out of town for a few days but took my already hydrated started with me so I could continue to feed it. When I got back home, it was still alive and bubbly, so I named it Bubbles. My first loaf was two days ago, and it didn’t bulk ferment properly in the refrigerator, so the bread didn’t rise much, but still had good flavor. This isn’t my first rodeo with sourdough, so I didn’t give up. I am looking forward to more leaven in my next baking attempt.
