Questions Australian bakers ask

What's the difference between a culture and making my own starter?

A culture is an established community of wild yeast and friendly bacteria — ours is simply paused in dried form. Starting from scratch means a week or more of twice-daily feeds with no guarantee it takes. A dehydrated culture skips the gamble and usually bakes within days.

How long does it take to activate?

Most bakers see life within a couple of days of the first feed, and are baking their first loaf within the first week. Our step-by-step guide tells you exactly what to look for at each stage, so there's no guesswork.

Will it survive the trip to Australia?

Absolutely — that's the whole point of a dehydrated culture. It's completely stable at room temperature in transit, from Sydney to Perth and everywhere between. It ships free from our Canadian micro-bakery straight to your letterbox.
