Opening the package
What to Expect When Your Starter Arrives
Your starter arrives dry and dormant. That is intentional. The activation process begins after Squirrelly Girl reaches your kitchen.
Dormant, Not Dead
Dehydration pauses active fermentation so the culture can travel without requiring a wet starter jar.
Ready to Rehydrate
Water restores moisture while fresh flour provides food as fermentation activity begins returning.
Instructions Included
Follow the supplied directions instead of guessing how much flour and water your culture needs.
Activity Returns Gradually
Watch for bubbles, expansion, an airy texture and increasingly obvious fermentation activity.
Strength Builds With Feeding
Continued feeding helps the culture develop stronger and more predictable activity.
Bake When Consistently Active
Begin relying on the starter for bread once it is rising reliably and showing strong fermentation after feeding.
