Freshly Fermented - Organic San Francisco Freeze Dried Sourdough Starter

Bake authentic artisan sourdough at home with our Organic Freeze-Dried San Francisco Sourdough Starter.

This premium freeze-dried starter culture has been carefully produced using certified organic ingredients and gently freeze-dried to preserve the natural wild yeasts and lactic acid bacteria in a dormant state. Simply rehydrate with flour and water to create a live, active sourdough starter ready for baking.

Inspired by the famous San Francisco sourdough tradition, this starter is ideal for producing artisan loaves with a balanced tangy flavour, crisp crust and light, open crumb. Suitable for beginners and experienced bakers alike, it provides a convenient alternative to maintaining a fresh starter.

The freeze-dried format offers excellent shelf life, making it perfect as a backup starter, for occasional baking or as a thoughtful gift for any bread enthusiast.

Once activated, your starter can be maintained indefinitely with regular feeding, allowing you to enjoy fresh homemade sourdough for years to come.

Suitable for baking sourdough bread, baguettes, pizza bases, focaccia, rolls, crackers and pancakes.
