Dutch Starter

A mellow, balanced culture inspired by European-style sourdough with a smooth, creamy tang. This starter produces tender crumb and a gentle acidity - perfect for everyday breads and pastries.

San Francisco Starter

Modeled after the iconic West Coast sourdough tradition, this starter brings a bright, bold tang and a lively fermentation rhythm. Expect open crumb, chewy texture, and that classic California sour.

Italian Starter

Inspired by rustic Italian baking, think airy focaccias, crisp pizzas, and country loaves. This starter leans mildly acidic with a warm, aromatic flavor that works beautifully in olive-oil breads.

Brooklyn Starter

Full of attitude and character, just like its namesake. This is our most robust culture with a hearty rise and a deeper, complex flavor perfect for bold sourdough lovers and artisan loaves.

STEP-BY-STEP ACTIVATION INSTRUCTIONS

HOW TO ACTIVATE YOUR STARTER

1. REHYDRATE. Mix 10g starter + 25g warm water. Let sit 10 minutes

2. FEED. Add 25g flour + 25g warm water. Stir well, cover loosely. Rest 12 hours.

3. FEED AGAIN. Discard half. Add 50g flour + 50g warm water. Stir well, cover loosely. Rest 12 hours.

4. BUILD STRENGTH. Repeat feedings every 12-24 hours, until starter becomes active and doubles in volume within 4 hours. (typically will occur within 2-4 days)

MAINTAINING YOUR CULTURE. Feed with equal parts flour and water every 24 hours if kept at room temperature. If refrigerated, feed once a week to keep your culture active and healthy.
