Success with the first loaf
SMCRN83✓ Verified Purchase•August 18, 2023
So happy to receive this sourdough starter! I fed and babied it for. days, and once there was finally enough to try making a loaf, I did. It raised as I'd hoped, but didn't brown quite as much as I wanted. But the taste was so good, we were happy to make sandwiches with it on the second day. Yum! Looking forward to making my second loaf now.
Best customer service ever!

I've purchased the starter two times previously and it was wonderful. Most recent didn't rehydrate properly (very rare). Sent seller a message. They responded within an hour and are sending a replacement. Very nice!
Yummy Flavor - Excellent Starter

Easy instructions... except, I don't use a glass jar. It is better to use a 6" deep plastic container, as the lid needs to just sit on top, not be screwed or clamped down. It needs air and room for expansion. I am back into baking sourdough and we like the authentic SF sourdough, which is more sour tasting. I have baked six loaves so far from this starter. Tastes like the real deal. No luggage and no long flight to the West Coast. Used whole wheat flour to get the starter going and it worked just fine. I am not a sourdough "purist" which means I use yeast for the bread. When I am not baking, I just feed the starter and place it back into the frig. To make the bread more sour, I let it rise overnight a second time overnight, then punch down, rise again before baking. So delicious!
Today is day 5!

Ok, I found this starter from Babish Culinary Universe, he did a sourdough pizza, well it piqued my curiosity how San Fransisco sourdough tastes. So I ordered some. :)
Today just reached day 5 of awaking the starter. It changed in smell it seemed overnight! It smells so lovely and sourdoughy. I cannot wait to use this starter!
I will note, I was a bit concerned at first. I dumped the packet into my little glass jar, added the flour and water and started to stir. It was so chunky! I was worried the dehydrated starter wasn't broke up enough, so I stirred and stirred and stirred. Then I covered it with a paper towel secured with a rubber band and walked away.
Day 2, still the same! It had the chunks still all mingled in the goo. I stirred a lot again, recovered and walked away.
Day 3, I spotted a few tiny bubbles before adding anything. Still a little chunky, but not so bad now.
Day 4, more bubbles, smooth texture.
Day 5, FRAGRANT and super smooth, I noticed more bubbles this morning and will start the better feedings tonight.
So if you order this, do be patient, it may seem like it isn't going to do anything, and then BAM it just wakes itself up and is spectacular.
If I can edit this after I bake the bread, I will and update on the flavor.

I was skeptical buying dried starter via amazon, but after 3 weeks of trying to start my own, I gave up and ordered this. I wish I had ordered it at the beginning of our shelter-in-place! I received it on a Monday, activated it that evening. I fed it again Tuesday evening and by Wednesday morning it was so light, fluffy, and bubbly, that I knew I needed to go to twice daily feedings, so I fed it again Wednesday night and by Thursday morning it had more than doubled. I made my first dough Thursday evening, set it to bulk rise overnight, and baked my first loaf with it on Friday. Tasted great and it wasn't a brick!
I have already dried some of my discard when it was at peak height so I have it again should something happen to this one, and I have a small container that is in my fridge that also doubled.
