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 really happy with this starter! The instructions are clear and helpful. And it was all shipped nicely and on time. I have to work on my own bread-making skills, but that’s on me 😂

This starter was perfect! I tried to make my own starter but could never get it going. Ordering this and following the detailed instructions on the blog was great and I have been making amazing sourdough loafs that I share with my family

Our starter has been great, still trying to get the hang of the sourdough process but I’ll get there and having so much fun with it! Thanks for the very thorough step by step for how to do it all! The starter is very active and doing everything its intended to do!

“Doughlene” (my favorite pun!) Arrived well packaged in a nice thank you card. It was easy to activate her and get her ready to bake using the instructions provided. I saw activity and expansion on day 2! What a great way to provide starter to those of us forgetting ours in the fridge in hot summers and won’t break to to our fellow bakers we killed their starter for the 3rd time.

I was always too intimidated to try baking my own sourdough. But with this starter and the clear & easy to understand instructions I now bake at least 2 loaves a week.
