Portsmouth Sourdough Starter FAQs

Why choose a dehydrated starter over a live one?

Live starters are fragile travellers — they can leak, starve, or sour in transit. A dehydrated starter is the same mature culture, simply dried at peak activity. It keeps in your cupboard for ages and wakes with just flour and water.

How long before I can bake my first loaf?

Most bakers see lively bubbling within a few days of following the included instructions. Compare that with building a starter from scratch, which can take weeks of daily feeding and guesswork.

Does shipping to Portsmouth really cost me nothing?

That's right — shipping is free to all UK addresses, Portsmouth included. And every order is backed by our activation guarantee: if your starter doesn't come to life, we'll make it right.
