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.

Came to life so quickly!

I’ve made 3 loaves and they all came out grand. I still don’t understand how to feed my starter. I tried to double the recipe because everyone loves the bread. Failed miserably. I will keep trying🥰
Aaron (Mr. DeannaCat) (store manager) –
Hi Constance, so glad the starter is woking out for you! I can’t link the article in the “Review” section but if you search “feed starter” on our site, it will bring you to our article on How to Feed a Sourdough Starter which should help you out in that regard. Best of luck and have fun baking!

This starter is so easy to wake up and so happy once you do. I bake bread and all the goodies from mine and share discard all the time. But I have still bought multiple times here to share with our of town friends.
Christmas is coming and a “sourdough starter” is the gift that keeps on giving. Just saying!

We are very happy with our delivery. It came quickly and the thought that went into the packaging / instructions is unreal. I highly recommend this product and hope everyone continues to show support to this small business. 10 out of 10!
