FAQs

How long does shipping to Reading take?

Orders leave our Canadian bakery quickly and arrive free anywhere in the UK. Your starter is dehydrated and shelf-stable, so the journey doesn't affect it one bit — it stays dormant until you decide to wake it up.

How soon can I bake my first loaf?

Most people see bubbling activity within a couple of days of rehydrating, and many are baking their first loaf within the week. The instructions walk you through every feed.

Does it work with flour I can buy in Reading?

Absolutely. Our starter wakes up on any plain flour — supermarket bread flour or stoneground wholemeal, whatever you have on hand. No special flour needed.

What if it doesn't activate?

That's exactly what the activation guarantee is for. Follow the instructions, and if your starter doesn't come to life, we'll make it right — no arguments.
