Sheffield sourdough FAQs

How long does the starter take to wake up?

Most starters are bubbling within three to five days of rehydration and ready to bake within a week. You'll get clear instructions for every step, so there's no guessing and no waiting around.

Is dehydrated starter as good as a fresh one?

Yes — it's the same live culture, simply dried at its peak for the journey. It wakes up just as strong, and it handles shipping far better than a fresh jar of bubbling gloop.

What if my starter won't activate?

That's exactly what our activation guarantee covers. If your starter refuses to wake up, we'll make it right — we stay in your corner until you're baking.
