Dried Starter Questions, Answered

How long does a dehydrated starter take to activate?

Most bakers see the first bubbles within a couple of days of rehydrating, and a bake-ready starter after about a week of feeding. Our instructions walk you through day by day, and the activation guarantee has your back the whole way.

Is dehydrated starter better than live starter for shipping?

For mail order, yes — by a mile. Live starter needs constant feeding and cool temperatures in transit. Dried starter is shelf-stable, lightweight, and simply waits. Once it wakes up, you have the same lively culture.

How long does unopened dehydrated starter last?

Stored in a cool, dry spot, the dried flakes keep for ages before you open the packet. That said, once it lands on your doorstep you will probably want to wake it up right away — fresh bread waits for no one.
