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’m a cook but not a baker. Ve people make breads through Covid and prior years before and envied them, I could make a fix a five course meal for a party of 8. Throw big backyard summer parties, but always feared the dough.
Found homestead and Chill a purchased the dehydrated sour dough starter and it sat for months.
I finally decided to tackle it. It was so much easier than I thought. I started with the focaccia, made the round loaf, made 8 mini focaccia, tried the crackers (I will keep trying)
Thank you Deanna and Aaron, I can not only cook but I can bake too!

This is the second time buying dehydrated starter. Followed the very detailed instructions and within 4 days I had an active, bubbling, overflowing starter. It makes the best bread.

This starter works perfectly. It reactivated quickly and was strong and viable in no time. We are now sharing the original starter with family and friends.
