Artisanal organic British sourdough starter. Just add water! I make my starter using organic stoneground flour from Stoates organic farm in Somerset, England. This starter is very active and very healthy!

You will receive 15 grams / half an ounce of active dry starter flakes

The starter is comprised of unbleached organic bread flour, filtered water, and naturally occurring yeast from the live cultures and lactic acid produced from fermentation.

Some lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains that are part of the sourdough starter are considered as probiotics which have great potential for improving gastrointestinal health.

Buying a dry starter also relieves you of the pressure to begin straight away. The dry starter will never go bad, so you’ll have plenty of time to get everything ready for baking 🍞

What is a dry sourdough starter?

Dry sourdough starter is made by dehydrating a portion of an active, healthy sourdough starter. My dehydration method preserves the beneficial lactic acid bacteria and wild yeasts that are within the starter. These ingredients are responsible for making a sourdough starter bubble, and sourdough bread rise. The dry starter is still very much alive! It is simply in a dormant state and needs to be reactivated. That is the process we’ll start today.

Using a dry sourdough starter is a great way to kick-start your sourdough baking journey. It is almost fool-proof! By using a dry sourdough starter, you’re working with a healthy established culture from the get-go, and this is a much easier & quicker way to create your starter than starting it from scratch!

For years, gluten gave me a range of inflammatory side effects, but since becoming an avid sourdough baker I have been able to enjoy the many benefits of fermented flour and its protein rich gluten. I recommend using organic flour for your bread making in order to avoid the unwanted side effects of wheat pesticides.

Sourdough baking is not as complicated as some make it out to be! Your dry starter will arrive with my simple instructions and a few receipes which make baking bread more approachable.
