Questions from East Midlands bakers

How long does the starter take to wake up?

Most bakers see bubbles and a proper rise within a few days of following the instructions. Feed it daily, keep it somewhere warm, and you'll be mixing your first loaf before the week is out.

Will it survive the journey from Canada?

Yes — that's the beauty of dehydrated flakes. Unlike a wet culture, flakes don't spoil or slosh about in transit. They simply wait, perfectly preserved, until you add water and bring them back to life.

I'm a complete beginner — is this really for me?

Absolutely. The starter comes with clear, plain-English instructions, and the Sourdough Academy walks you through every step after that. If you can stir flour and water together, you can do this.
