Ingredients
Organic bread flour, filtered water, wild-captured sourdough culture. That's it — no additives, no preservatives, no commercial yeast.
Activation Time
3–5 days from rehydration to active, bake-ready starter. You'll see bubbles within 24–48 hours.
Who It's For
Anyone who wants to bake real sourdough at home — whether it's your first time or you've tried before and struggled. No experience, special equipment, or daily feeding schedule required. Perfect for home bakers, gift-givers, and sourdough enthusiasts alike.
Why It's Easier Than Starting from Scratch
Starting a sourdough culture from scratch takes 2–3 weeks of daily feedings with no guarantee of success. Our dehydrated starter is already an established, healthy culture — it just needs to be woken up. You'll skip the hardest part (cultivating wild yeast) and go straight to baking. Think of it as a head start on your sourdough journey.
