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.

Ordering was easy, delivery was fast and the directions for the starter were simple and easy to follow. I appreciate their small business and will not hesitate to buy more of their products.

This starter is the best! I’ve tried other starters and nothing is as active and reliable as this one. Wish I could give it 10 stars! The instructions are easy to follow, and I appreciate the attention to detail.

I had my own starter that I made myself and it just never did quite well. Even if kept in a warmer spot it took over 12 hours to double in size. After starting the dehydrated one, it doubles (or triples) in less than 4 hours even in my cold kitchen. The bread is so fluffy and amazing. This is definitely the way to go.

This is my 4th purchase. I bought for myself, and my daughters. I love that HomesteadandChill has step by step directions on how to get started and recipes for the sourdough starter. The personal attention is appreciated. I put the wrong address on one order, and Aaron corrected it immediately
