Squirrelly Girl begins as an established sourdough culture. We carefully dehydrate the starter before shipping so it can travel dry and dormant instead of requiring the feeding schedule of an active wet starter.
Once your starter arrives in England, follow the included instructions, add flour and water, and begin bringing the culture back to an active state.
The dehydrated format makes an established culture much more practical to send from our Canadian micro-bakery to your home in England.
The culture rests during storage and delivery instead of requiring regular feeding while it travels.
There is no heavy glass jar or actively fermenting liquid starter moving through the international postal system.
Follow the supplied storage and activation guidance and begin rehydration when you're ready to care for your starter.
Step-by-step guidance explains how to rehydrate and feed the starter and what signs of returning activity to watch for.

Your starter doesn't arrive ready to bake with immediately. First, you'll rehydrate and feed the culture so it can regain strength and predictable activity.
Combine the dried culture with the instructed quantities of water and flour.
Continue following the supplied feeding instructions to give the culture fresh flour and water.
Watch for bubbles, expansion, an increasingly aerated texture and other signs of returning fermentation activity.
Continue feeding until the culture develops increasingly reliable activity and rising after feeding.
