How to get started
This is a dehydrated starter culture, not finished bread or a jar of ready-to-use liquid starter. Add flour and water and follow the included feeding guide for several days until the starter is bubbly and active before baking.
It arrives dehydrated with a long shelf life, so the recipient can begin when they're ready. Flour and water are needed for activation.
More than a loaf
Once activated, use it for crusty sourdough loaves, focaccia, pizza crust, sandwich rolls, pancakes, and bagels. A small gift with plenty of delicious possibilities.
What is in the package
An organic gently dehydrated sourdough starter, a step-by-step activation guide with recipes, and personal support from Great Grandma's Sourdough whenever you need a hand.
How long until I can bake?
Dehydrated starters typically become fully active within 3 to 5 days. Follow the rehydration instructions and expect a bubbly, bake-ready starter in about 5 days. There is no rush to start on arrival, because dehydrated starter is shelf-stable.

Awesome!! Great starter!! Wil buy again!!
Everything was fine, starters came fast with detailed descriptions so that you can start right away. Thank you!
Amazing customer service! There was an issue with my order being marked as delivered when it hadn’t arrived, and the seller was incredibly kind, responsive, and understanding throughout the entire process. They explained what may have happened, kept communication open, and immediately offered a replacement or refund without hesitation. I truly felt taken care of as a customer. Mistakes happen with shipping, but outstanding customer service like this makes all the difference. I really appreciate their professionalism and generosity—would absolutely order again!
Top Notch quality, Thank you.
I make such tasty sourdough bread with this starter. She came to life quickly and within a week I was making amazing bread. Highly recommend. Even got some for some bread baking in-laws. :)
Freuen uns auf das fertig gebackene Brot mit diesem Sauerteig!
This is my first time using dehydrated starter. Complete printout of directions. The cost of shipping was negligible and timely. My response to a question was answered very quickly. I’m so happy with my purchase. No complaints here.
Update! My dehydrated starter wasn’t rising by day 4. I reached out to seller who gave me great advice and the next day it had tripled and full of bubbles. Compliments to the seller for being so knowledgable and always responding very quickly. This is a great shop.
Levain de très bonne qualité, merci beaucoup au vendeur pour l’effort qu’il a fourni pour que la commande arrive à temps ++++
Great, just what I needed, thanks!

Lively starter and Good instructions.
Great customer communication. I like very much this one. Also I have tried the one from Italy !!
I have tried making my own starter but I never truly stuck with the process. This small starter sample was a game changer with directions. I have made cookies and bagels with success.
Wonderful starter and great instructions/resources provided.

Will buy again for friends
This made an amazing loaf first try 5 days after starting from the dehydrated starter!
Instructions were very straightforward. It was so easy reliving the starter 😊
Excellent starter! Great communication with seller! Highly recommend!
As promised, got to the UK quickly, have been baking with it with no issues since.
First time bread maker and I named my starter "The Eye of Doughrus". The instructions were really easy to follow. The starter took a couple extra days to activate because it's winter. I used AI to help me maintain the starter after day 6. I ended up needing to feed it twice a day, but that's okay. The starter is very resilient and fruitful. I was able to bake bread this morning and it came out perfectly. This was a fun and delicious experience
Bought as gift. Recipient very pleased

Great product! Awesome instructions and additional resources on website! I’ve already baked a loaf, discard biscuits, and discard pancakes! Highly recommend for beginners!!
Ich habe den glutenfreien Sauerteigstarter verschenkt. Die Erklärung ist sehr detailliert und auch für Anfängerinnen geeignet. Zusätzlich gibt es ganz viele tolle Rezepte. Der günstige Versand verlief bei mir reibungslos und der Starter war schnell bei mir in der Post. Werde seitdem immer mit super leckerem Brot versorgt.
