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.

This is a fool proof way to get started with sourdough. Every weekend I make a loaf and it just gets better and better.

I love supporting small businesses and this started is awesome! I sent one to my dad for Father’s Day and bought one for myself and I love it! If you’re looking to get into the sourdough game, look no further! Thank you Deanna!

I’ve already bought the starter twice, the first time I used it for a month and killed it, but I loved it so much I ordered it a SECOND time and it’s just as good if you follow the very simple instructions and it’s going good so far fingers crossed I keep this one alive and happy 😂😁 very happy with the product it’s everything they say it is and more!

It works! I recieved my starter in the mail and then immediately stored it in the pantry for a couple weeks while I worked up the focus to start my very first sourdough journey. The instructions were very easy to follow, and it was nice to watch the youtube video instructions as well. Just used my starter to make the cracker recipe as well as the foccacia recipe from this website. So far the starter is worth it even just for those two delicious recipes. Excited to start more. Would not hesitate to repurchase if I ever needed to.

We are so happy with our sourdough starter!
Starting our own felt a little too intimidating, but reactivating this one has been super easy.
So far I’ve made focaccia, cornbread, and crackers, and all have turned out wonderfully. I’m excited to do more and bake more regularly in the winter months.
Love your website/instagram and all your knowledge, our garden has doubled in size thanks to your inspiration!

The Sourdough Starter came quickly and has been doing great since I received it weeks ago! The blog post about reactivating was very easy to follow, which was great as I am a new to sourdough baking! Due to life events, I was not able to feed my active starter for 5 weeks in a row. I read the how to feed article and it has since been brought back to life! Bready White is a beast! Thank you for a quality product!

My two sourdough babes Frodough Baggins and Samwise Glutenee are absolutely thriving. Being new to sourdough, I was expecting a bunch of fails but that didn’t happen at all! From my very first loaf, I was able to get a beautiful loaf with rise and an open crumb. I highly recommend this starter to anyone who’s curious about making sourdough. Her instructions are very easy to follow and this starter is strong!

I’ve now made two sourdough boules using this starter and both turned out amazing. This sourdough starter is so healthy and it is a breeze to set up and maintain. On day 1 it was rising and on day 2 there were bubbles and rise/fall. It was consistently doubling/tripling in sizing by day 3 and onwards. I can’t say enough good things about this starter. And it smells amazing!! Like a delicious bakery! I’m so glad I purchased and can’t wait to make more sourdough!

So excited to jumpstart my sourdough making journey with an organic starter that is already healthy and thriving. I followed the step-by-step instructions, and got activity within the first day, and have had success with both loaves that I’ve made so far. Would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to give sourdough a start.
