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.

I have tried countless times to make my own starter and this is the only time it has been successful for me! I wish I had just bought this in the first place – follow Deanna’s directions and you will be sourdough-ing soon!!!

I purchased this as a gift for my daughter. This starter withstands the refrigerator going out, floating in a cooler for five days and still wakes up to make the perfect sour dough focaccia.

I have had my sourdough starter for 2 or 3 years now. It was easy to get started following the directions. And amazingly, I have kept it alive after serious neglect following Deanna’s very simple guidance about feeding.
Also highly recommend the homestead and chill recipes for basic sourdough, focaccia and allllll of the cookies. These methods are all solid and easy to do. I have tried many, many ways of baking bread over the past few years and always come back to these for the most consistent and reliable outcome. You won’t regret this purchase!
