Dried sourdough starter — quick answers

Is dried starter as good as a live one?

Honestly? For ordering online, it's better. Drying simply pauses the culture — rehydrate it and it becomes a fully live, vigorous starter. Unlike a fresh jar, dried flakes can't spill, spoil, or burst in the post.

How long does it take to wake up?

Most bakers see bubbles within a day or two of feeding, and a first loaf follows within the week. Our step-by-step guide walks you through every feed — no guesswork, no staring at the jar wondering.

How long does dried starter keep?

Months on end in a cool, dry cupboard. Plenty of bakers keep a spare packet as a safety net — if a live starter ever misbehaves, a fresh start is already waiting.
