Wholemeal Starter Questions

Can I feed this starter with wholemeal flour only?

Yes. Once activated, feed it with wholemeal flour and water and it will thrive. Many bakers use wholemeal for every feed to build that rich, wheaty flavour right through the loaf.

How long until I can bake?

Most starters are bubbly and ready within a few days of regular feeding. Follow the included guide, keep it somewhere warm, and look for a confident rise and lots of bubbles.

Does shipping to the UK cost extra?

No. Shipping across the UK is free, and because the starter is dehydrated and shelf-stable, it arrives ready to store until baking day suits you.
