Highlights

  • Materials: Organic Artisan Bread Flour, Filtered and unchlorinated water, Starter Culture

Buy sourdough starter to jumpstart your sourdough baking success! When you buy live sourdough starter you will be 1-2 days away from baking the bread of your dreams!

This sourdough starter originates from a French bakery over 115 years ago. This is a fresh white starter with sweet yogurt-like flavors. It takes a big longer to reach its peak and is generally slower and sweeter, and much more forgiving of being neglected for a week, so it is great for beginners!

Testing has revealed one dominant yeast and several kinds of LAB, which is typical of the make –up
* Yeast = Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
* Lactobacillus kimchii
* Lactobacillus sanfrenciscensis
* Lactobacillus acidifarinae

You will be using a starter with a long history! It’s microbiologically very unlikely to be the same as when you first acquire it, because you will introduce new yeasts each time you refresh it and those yeasts live, reproduce and die at an incredibly fast rate. I like to say that she is from France, but grew up in Phoenix.

Product:

25 grams of fresh liquid live sourdough starter with refreshing instructions and QR codes included, shipped in a food safe baggie. Feed upon arrival!

Ingredients:

Central Milling Organic High Mountain Bread Flour, 13.3% protein
Spring water
Starter Culture

While you wait for your starter to arrive, be sure you have bread flour on hand to feed her when she arrives. If you wish to keep her organic, purchase an organic bread flour. I personally use the Organic High Mountain flour from Central Milling. Also, be sure that you have a digital scale as all measurements are weight based. You can find one less than $15 on amazon!

***When you purchase my starter along with my course, the starter will be FREE! You will receive the course info in your Etsy messages after purchase and the starter will be mailed to you**

**PLEASE READ - when you purchase this starter, I will send you an Etsy message with a link to a troubleshooting playlist. Here you will find information on how to feed and maintain your starter as well as what to do if your starter does not rise. Bookmark the playlist so that you have it as a resource for commonly asked questions and solutions! I also offer personal troubleshooting via Etsy AND our private facebook group should you have a starter emergency that has not been resolved by watching the videos. Information on how to join the Facebook group will be on the card included with your order.**

Exchanges ONLY (no returns) - Due to user error that can occur while managing sourdough starters, I do not offer returns or refunds. I do, however, offer an exchange if your starter arrives damaged in some way. No need to return it. Just reach out and I will send you a replacement! I want you to be successful!

Wonderful starter. I just used it for the first time after purchasing to make my cranberry walnut sourdough bread. It turned out awesome. Much much better than my previous starter. Thank you for the quick delivery, and the excellent instructions! A great purchase!!

This sourdough starter is fantastic!! I have ordered dehydrated sourdough before, and I just couldn't make them work. This time I ordered liquid Suzette and I baked my very first loaf of sourdough bread. It isn't perfect, but to me she's a beauty! Suzette is an amazing starter!!
