Kerikeri Sourdough Questions, Answered

How long until I can bake my first loaf?

Most bakers go from flakes to first loaf in under a week. Follow the included activation steps, feed daily, and watch for that lively, bubbly rise — then you are ready to mix dough.

Does dehydrated starter survive the trip to Northland?

Easily. Dehydrated flakes are shelf-stable by design, so distance and warm weather are no problem at all. Your starter simply waits, dormant, until you add water and flour.

What if my starter does not activate?

That is exactly what our activation guarantee covers. Reach out and we will sort it — a replacement or a refund, no fuss and no forms.
