Quick Questions from Thunder Bay Bakers

Does dehydrated starter survive the trip to Northern Ontario?

Easily — that's exactly what dehydration is for. It travels shelf-stable, so it can't spoil or go stale on the way to Thunder Bay. Add flour and water when it arrives and it wakes right up.

How long until I can bake my first loaf?

Most bakers have a bubbly, active starter within a few days of regular feeding. Follow our step-by-step instructions and your first loaf is closer than you think — and if it doesn't activate, our guarantee covers you.

I've never baked sourdough before. Is this too advanced for me?

Not at all. If you can stir flour and water together, you can do this. The instructions walk you through every feed, and the Sourdough Academy answers every question you'll have along the way.
