Amazing

Update: still using this starter for over a year and a half!🙏🏼 Original review: I have been using this for over 3 months. My starter is still being used weekly and sometimes daily. I make a loaf once a week and use it for sourdough pancakes and crepes. Blend 1/2 starter with 1 egg 1/2 milk 1/2 cup flour 2-3 tbsp sugar and a pinch of salt. The most delicious crepes

Easy to Follow Instructions

The package contains a small packet of starter and a pamphlet. The pamphlet has instructions for the gluten free version as well (be careful not to look at the wrong recipe). This is my first time starting a culture and with the provided instructions I was able to activate the starter (bubbles after fed and has a fermented sour smell). With colder indoor temperatures, I left it by a window that gets morning sun. The starter was fed frequently every ~24 hours for about 5 days. They also mention a website, where there are more tips and recipes to reference.

Great if you don't want to make your own starter

I know I can just make my own starter for free with water and flour but it takes about 2 weeks to have a strong enough starter from scratch so this really comes in handy if you don't want to wait. I've made great sourdough bread using this starter and even though I intend to maintain my own starter, this gave it a boost and is good to know I have a reliable option should i ever need it in the future.

lovely bread

I bought this one as a gift to my mother together with a sourdough bread proofer box, together it gets to professional levels of bread making, however, without the box, I can't make it work nor double in size at all, the temperature is not right enough if you do not have a bread proofer electric box, please give me a thumbs up if this was helpful to you.

Easy

I like this because it’s easy to make the sourdough bread at home.

When cultured by fermentation

It has a fragrant scent. When the temperature is high in hot summer, bubbles are generated and fermented quickly, so you need to feed them frequently. If you don't, the fungi will die and the fragrant smell and sour taste will no longer be present, and other molds will dominate.

Cultures for Health, San Francisco Style Sourdough, 0.19 oz (5.4 g)

This sat in my room for ages before i finally gave it a go. Follow the instructions and also some YT videos and it really worked, made some really nice sourdough. It takes a week or 2 to get going and even longer until it's really potent and healthy so be patient.

Great Starter

This worked out pretty well. Took about a week for me to activate. But it’s going strong and I’ve been baking pancakes, bread, scones. I think I’ll get a back up just in case something happens!
