## Description

Activating Your Dehydrated Sourdough StarterWhat You'll Need:Your dehydrated sourdough starterUnbleached all-purpose or bread flourFiltered or non-chlorinated waterA clean glass jar or bowlA spoon or spatulaDay 1: Rehydrating the StarterMeasure: Use about 1 tablespoon (10g / 0.35 oz) of the dehydrated sourdough starter.Mix: In a clean jar or bowl, combine the starter with 2 tablespoons (30ml / 1 fl oz) of water. Stir to dissolve as much as possible.Add Flour: Mix in 2 tablespoons (15g / 0.5 oz) of flour. Stir until it forms a paste.Cover: Cover loosely with a breathable lid (like a coffee filter or cloth) and let it sit at room temperature (21–26°C / 70–78°F) for 12–24 hours.Day 2: First FeedingCheck: You might see small bubbles or a slight sour smell. This indicates the starter is waking up.Discard & Feed: Discard half of the mixture (about 2 tablespoons / 15g / 0.5 oz). Add 2 tablespoons (15g / 0.5 oz) of flour and 2 tablespoons (30ml / 1 fl oz) of water. Stir well.Cover: Cover loosely and let it sit at room temperature for another 12–24 hours.Day 3–5: Daily FeedingsRepeat Feedings: Continue discarding half and feeding with equal parts flour (2 tablespoons / 15g / 0.5 oz) and water (2 tablespoons / 30ml / 1 fl oz) every 12–24 hours.Look for Activity: After a few days, the starter should become bubbly, double in size, and have a pleasant tangy aroma.Using Your Activated Sourdough StarterOnce your starter is active and bubbly, it's ready to use!Measure: Most recipes require about ¼–½ cup (60–120g / 2–4 oz) of starter.Timing: Feed the starter 4–6 hours before baking for peak activity.Maintaining Your StarterDaily Use: Feed once a day if kept at room temperature.Infrequent Use: Store in the fridge and feed once a week.

Review: Burst of flavor for your baking - Easy to work with, including "waking" it up. I bake once a week, so I store a bit of starter in my fridge. Unlike some other starters, this does not cause any issues. It also creates the distinct sour taste I've come to love from small batch bakeries. I still have original dry starter left in the package and am storing it in the freezer for now. The package contains several times over the amount you need to get started. With enough care, the starter is in theory immortal and if you love sourdough bread, baking your own is probably better (than any large scale commercial product), definitely cheaper and not at all as complicated as many tutorials make you believe. This product is perfect as is, and I'll definitely buy it again if I ever ruin my current starter batch.
Review: Nice sourdough starter, for both of wheat bread and rye bread - It served me well to bake both of good whole wheat sourdoughs and also good rye sourdoughs. 1 packet is enough for building a good sourdough. after making a sourdough, 1 week in a fridge with 5 degree celsius is enough for preserving. after over a week, it may need to be fed to become well-activated again.
