Quick answers

What exactly do the instructions cover?

Everything from rehydrating the flakes to maintaining your starter long term: feed amounts, timing, what to look for, and your first bake. You'll also get access to our Sourdough Academy for deeper guidance whenever you want it.

Do I need any experience or special kit?

None. If you can stir flour and water in a jar, you can do this. A basic bowl, jar, and wooden spoon are all you need — the guide assumes you're starting from zero.

How long before I can bake with it?

Most bakers see their starter double reliably within a few days of rehydrating, and bake their first loaf within about a week. And it's guaranteed — if it won't wake up, we've got you.

Skip the guesswork. Order your Squirrelly Girl Starter today — it ships free to your UK door with beginner-friendly instructions in every box. Happy baking! 🍞
