Frequently Asked Questions
What is dehydrated sourdough starter?
It’s a living sourdough culture that has been gently dried so it can be stored long-term and shipped anywhere. Once rehydrated, it becomes active again and works just like fresh starter.
How long does it last?
Stored in a cool, dry place, your dehydrated starter can last for years. Once revived, you can keep it alive indefinitely with regular feeding.
How do I use it?
Simply mix the dehydrated starter with warm water and flour, then feed it daily for 3–5 days until bubbly and active. You’ll get detailed instructions with your order.
Do I need any special equipment?
Just a clean jar, flour, water, and something to stir with. A kitchen scale is optional but helpful for consistent results.
Can I make more than bread with it?
Absolutely! Use your revived starter for pizza crust, pancakes, waffles, biscuits, and more.
Is it beginner-friendly?
Yes! Our guide walks you through every step, even if you’ve never baked sourdough before.
How much bread can I make from one packet?
With proper care, your starter can last a lifetime — you’ll just keep feeding it and using it in recipes.
What kind of flour should I feed my starter?
All-purpose or bread flour works great. You can also experiment with whole wheat or rye flour for different flavors.
