Sourdough Starter FAQs for UK Buyers

How long does it take to activate a dehydrated starter?

Most bakers see bubbles within two or three days and a reliably doubling starter within about a week, depending on kitchen temperature. Our step-by-step guide walks you through every feed, so you're never guessing.

What do I need to wake it up?

Just a jar, flour, and water — no special equipment. Strong white or wholemeal flour both work beautifully, and the instructions explain exactly which ratios to use and when.

How does delivery to Preston work?

Because the starter is dehydrated and shelf-stable, it travels perfectly from our Canadian micro-bakery to Preston without any special handling — and delivery is always free.
