5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2024
Fantastic stuff. Followed the directions on the website on how to feed the starter to get it started and then the process to keep feeding it in a proper-sized jar based upon how often you plan on baking bread or other things. I have it in a 52oz glass beaker-like jar with a snug but loose top and feed the starter regularly. The first two breads have been amazing, have made two pizzas, and have started the process on the 3rd bread. I bake them all in a dutch oven.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick, easy steps = amazing starter
Reviewed in Canada on September 29, 2023
I was so excited to hop on the sourdough bandwagon, but did not want to wait to build up starter from scratch. Theres enough dry starter for 2 (or nearly 2 batches) in this little packet. The steps to follow for activating and feeding this dried starter are found online. I took pictures with my phone for easy offline access to all the info I wanted, including how to make my own dry starter to freeze. In 3 days, my starter was active, good smelling, and doubling after being fed. Today I made my first ever loaf, with more than enough starter left over to keep feeding for next time. Even though I missed the step of refrigerating my dough before baking, my loaf still turned out better than I expected; nice and round, not overly dense, and smells and tastes amazing. Im so happy, and would recommend this to anyone for a quick and seamless start(er) to sourdough!

Long review coming here but I’m just so happy with the product and have a few tips for you!
I decided to give this a go after trying to make three of my own starters and all of them moulding and let me tell you- I do not regret it!!
I followed the instructions to a T and even took the time to watch the videos on their website.
You can see in photo 1 what it looked like just two day in (already had a few tiny bubbles)
Photo 2 was around 3-4 days in and at that point was rising about a fourth of the way with feeds.
Photo 3 was before I made my first loaf (11 days after activating the starter) and it passed the float test with flying colours!
Photo 4 is of my first loaf- it came out wonderful but the loafs I’ve made sense come out ever better!
Photo 5 is from a few days ago (probably my 4th or 5th loaf. And I find that they’re now coming out very consistent, fluffy and airy.
And photo 6 is my starter now, she always doubles in size after a feeding and I just stick to feeding with 1/3 c flour and 1/4c water every time now!
A few things worth noting:
• Don’t worry about the smell! It differed a lot in the first couple weeks. I smelt yeast, vinegar, almost a stinky feet smell, sour and probably a few other things hhaha. Thats just the starter finding its footing as you find yours with feeding it and caring for it. I find it now pretty consistently smells like healthy yeast with a tiny bit of a ting to it!
• If you have a cooler home, I’d suggest placing your starter over your kitchen heating vent after feeds, I find this really speeds up the fermentation process. And also after putting a loaf together and once you’re starting the process of fermentation and stretching, place the bowl with your dough in the oven. Not on! Just in the over as it’s warmer and there’s no temperature fluctuating in there so it helps it to ferment well.
• make sure to use unbleached four! Bleached flour can slow or even kill the fermentation process (and who wants bleach in their flour anyways!?!)
• also make sure to use distilled water when feeding (tap is perfectly fine for loaves). This doesn’t mean having to go out and buy water just to feed your starter- distilled water is just boiled. Yes, store bought is boiled into vapour and then that vapour is collected and that becomes that jug of water where as at home it’s just boiled but it does very close to the same thing and I find it works super well every time. Just make sure to let the water cool fully before using it to feed your starter or it will kill it. I just always have my kettle with leftover water from teas and whatnot on my counter and ready to use!

So all of that said, DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS STARTER! It’s worked absolutely as described and honestly I feel like the few bad reviews must have done something wrong on their end😅 or maybe happened to get a dud bag of flakes. And that too! I still have more than enough flakes to share with friends or if (Lord forbid lol) anything happens to my starter, I know I can super easily start another and have bread in like a week.
100/10 recommend.
