Frequently asked questions

1. What is a sourdough starter and why should I use one?

A sourdough starter is a living culture of flour and water that develops sourdough yeasts and lactic acid bacteria through natural fermentation. It is the perfect base for baking bread and rolls with a unique taste and excellent texture. My wet starter is already active and easy to use - ideal for beginners and experienced bakers!

2. What do I get with my sourdough starter?

You will receive around 60 g of moist starter that is ready to use straight away. I will also send you simple care instructions and 3 tried and tested recipes for breads and rolls. My starter is made from organic flour and is super robust - perfect for pure sourdough breads or mixed breads.

3. How do I properly care for my sourdough starter?

It's easy to care for! Feed the starter every 1-2 weeks with a mixture of flour and water (organic flour if possible). The exact care instructions are included with your starter. Even if you take a break, my starter is easy to revive thanks to its robustness!

4. How long does the sourdough last and how is it shipped?

My sourdough starter is freshly made, packed in a vacuum bag and sent as a letter. It is so robust that it can easily withstand long transport times. Once you receive it, you can use it straight away or store it at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Step-by-step instructions are also included.

Custom-made and personalized orders

Yes! My sourdough starter is suitable for many types of bread, including classic sourdough breads, mixed rye breads or even sweet sourdough baked goods. The recipes included offer you great inspiration, but you can also try out your own ideas. There are no limits to your creativity!
