Sourdough starter organic

The ideal sourdough starter for beginners and advanced students

Do you like to bake your own sourdough bread? With this sourdough starter - in convenient 15 g bags - you can easily get started. After all, you don't have to grow your own starter first.

Each sachet contains dormant ferments, ready to be awakened by you with water. Once hydrated, the starter becomes vibrant and flavorful. Fermenting microorganisms bring your dough to life, creating delicious aromas, flavors and textures.

Fresh sourdough starter, natural and full of quality

This dried sourdough starter is made from the naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria and yeast in flour. With fresh, natural ingredients of high quality.

This is how to activate this sourdough starter

• Add 15 g of starter (the whole bag) together with 25 ml of lukewarm water and 30 g of flour. This is best done in a suitable glass container, such as the sourdough fermentation jar from our assortment. Mix with a clean spatula or spoon.

• Cover the glass jar and wait six to eight hours.

• Add another 25 ml of lukewarm water and 30 g of flour. Mix well.

• Cover and wait twelve to sixteen hours.

• This time, add 60 ml of lukewarm water and 60 g of flour. Mix well.

• Cover and let stand for twelve hours.

• Discard half the mixture and return to step three until your starter has doubled in volume. TIP: Keep an eye on progress by putting a sticker on your glass jar on day one. Our sourdough fermentation jar indicates the volume with a brightly colored line.

Ready to start baking your sourdough bread! You add a small piece of starter to your dough as soon as you want to bake.

Tips for a good sourdough starter

A good sourdough starter bubbles slightly. The starter rises within a few hours of feeding and has a slightly sour aroma.

Want to preserve the starter? Then you take a small particle of starter in a sealed jug. You add equal amounts of flour and lukewarm water to the jug. You mix until it has a smooth consistency. It's best to store your starter in a warm place. Around 25 degrees is ideal.

Do you want to store the starter for a long time? Up to even several months? Then put the jug in the refrigerator, with the lid loosely turned on. The cold puts the ferments to sleep. Do give the starter fresh food weekly so it stays alive.

IMPORTANT: Always work with clean equipment to avoid unhealthy bacterial growth. Sterilizing everything briefly with boiling water before use should suffice.
