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.

Absolutely the best sourdough starter I have ever used. By the 3rd day it was already double in size. It continues to be very active each time I use it.

okay seriously I have been attempting a successful sourdough starter for like a year. i have gone through 3-4 starters that i could just never get perfect, and my loaves would always turn out dense and heavy. i am SO happy i bought this dehydrated starter. i could tell immediately that it was the happiest, most active starter i’ve ever had, and i’ve just baked my first successful sourdough loaf and i’m currently crying happy tears :’) i almost gave up on becoming a sourdough girlie but now i’m so excited to keep baking 🙂

This is my second batch of starter. I let the first one die :(. Then I tried making my own. Then I gave up. Then I bought more from you because it never fails! Thank you! I’ve made breads and crackers from it.

Unbelievably easy for us first timers. Ordered this (along with the sweet Orange lip balm) for my daughter a couple of weeks ago and it’s thriving. We’re so excited to have our own starter! And I love supporting small businesses like this one. I’ll definitely recommend this item to friends. Thank you for making this so easy!

I am a seasoned sourdough maker, but my last starter died so I purchased a dehydrated one from here. It rehydrated perfectly and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. The price point was great too when I compared to others. Deanna is so talented in everything she does! Thank you!!
