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 my second purchase since I broke the sourdough container on my first one. The sourdough starter makes wonderful bread.

I purchased a starter after following Deanna for years. It came in the mail pretty quickly and I had no issues with it after following their instructions. I’ve made a few loaves so far and the starter is doing great. Thanks!

I had used Homesteadandchill’s Sourdough Starter previously and had great results. This second time around was the same. It rehydrates easily and is activated and growing within a few days. Deanna lays out step by step directions that are foolproof and easy to follow. I’ve made her Foccacia bread, which is excellent! I’m now experimenting with rye and whole wheat flours with the original starter. I was originally intimidated by baking sourdough breads but once you start it’s quite easy and this starter lends great flavor to whatever you’re baking.
