From dehydrated culture to baking

You receive three dehydrated starter cultures, not finished bread or jars of ready-to-use liquid starter. Add flour and water and follow the included rehydration instructions. Allow about 5 days for activation, and bake once your starter is bubbly and active.

All three arrive dehydrated with a long shelf life, so there's no rush to activate them. Begin with one and save the others for later, or maintain each in its own jar with separate utensils.

Try crusty loaves, focaccia, pizza, or flatbreads, and make this collection part of your own baking tradition.
