Own a piece of baking history. This San Francisco sourdough starter has been kept alive for over 200 years, tracing its roots back to the Gold Rush era. It's the same wild yeast culture that gave San Francisco its world-famous tangy, crusty sourdough.

We've gently dehydrated this starter at room temperature to preserve its integrity. When you're ready, just add flour and water, feed it for a few days, and it will come back to life, bubbly, active, and ready to bake with.

What's included:

  • Gently dehydrated heirloom organic sourdough starter
  • Step-by-step activation guide with recipes
  • Free 1-year replacement warranty
  • Personal support,  message me anytime, I reply quickly, sometimes even in minutes!

Perfect for: classic sourdough loaves, focaccia, pizza crust, sandwich rolls, pancakes, bagels, and more. This starter works beautifully with any flour type.

This starter arrives dehydrated and ready to activate whenever you choose. No rush, it has a long shelf life and will be waiting for you.

This sourdough starter was amazing! It's very active and I was ready to bake within a couple short days! The sour was perfect and the crumb makes for some of the best toast in the world.

Super happy with this starter! My starter had died and I had no luck starting my own. Within 1 week of receiving this starter I have delicious sourdough again!

Wonderful starter - revived without any issues and have been making bread weekly for the last couple of months. There is a website the seller refers you to that has a nice library of recipes, which are fantastic.

I started with the san Fransisco. We tried so many different ways of baking the bread and never worked, yet we kept the starter going.. just reading the simple recipe Great grandma gives us it has worked everytime when we started using the sourdough bread recipe and not the other. Now we eat it everyday with sandwiches or just butter. Thank you.

A great starter, took about a week of feedings to get it going strong, and the instructions are very easy to follow. I made my first sourdough ever and it turned out well. The flavor is great! Thank you!

My item showed up on time. We had an incident where the shipping company said it was delivered but it had only made it to my USPostal Office. The seller reassured me that sometimes this happens. The package came to my home the same day with my mail carrier.

Customer Service has been ultra polite, patient, and helpful with
me. I really appreciate it.

I will follow the good directions attached to my sour dough package and I am sure it will be amazing. It is packaged well.

My bread turned out delicious!

The shipping was super fast. I thought I was having problems with the starter activating because it comes dehydrated and it just wasn’t doing anything so I thought let me try to see if they can help me. I had immediate customer service immediate results and as soon as I did, what they told me to do my starter started to rise and it was alive and it smelled great and I’ve made many loaves of bread and the sour flavor reminds me of growing up and getting bread from San Francisco

I have to say I was skeptical because I’ve never worked with sourdough and did not have the time to create my own starter from scratch. This product blew me away. I was intimidated but It was so easy to rehydrate and I ended up mixing my first loaf on day 4. It was delicious! Highly recommend this product.
