    Description

    Here I have available Sourdough Bread Starter.  (Starter may also be used for other baked pastries!)
    My starter consists of Organic Spelt Flour and purified Water only.
    You do not need to continue with spelt flour. Spelt is an ancient grain, a cousin to wheat. It contains less gluten than modern day wheat. I use spelt for my own health concerns, but with spelt it is definitely more difficult to obtain a nice rise. You can switch the starter to using wheat and the starter will most likely show MUCH more activity!
    If you prefer to keep your starter at room temperature you can do so. I do not use starterevery couple days so I chose to keep mine in the refrigerator. I needed to teach my starter to accept refrigerator life! It has learned to accept that and works very well for me! If you keep it in the fridge it will not have as strong a sour taste. Keep it on the counter top if you prefer it very sour!
    This is not an ancient starter from some far off land! I started it myself several years ago and it works great for me! :)
    You will receive 1 1/2 cups starter.
    If you are wanting more starter than I have listed as available, please contact me.  I should be able to easily do that for you but it may take several days to allow my starter to multiply!
    I do NOT have instructions to send with the starter. I do have a blog post on WordPress where I explain how I started this starter and how I make my bread. I will share that address here so you can read the information I have.
    You will need to copy and paste the address into your search bar:

    You are welcome to print that info for your personal use. But I recommend you switch the starter to whatever grain you want to use and then use your own recipe.  I do a three day ferment but you do not need to do so!  My directions are very much tailored to my health needs!
    I am happy to answer questions if I can.
    I also have available Kombuch SCOBYs and Milk Kefir Grains!
    I do use Organic Spelt to feed my starter but I do not have a "certified organic kitchen".  Our kitchen is a common homestead kitchen. :)
    Comes from a smoke free, pet free home.
    Generally I am very prompt with shipping. However I have set the handling time for this item to 5 days.  Simply because this is a live item.  I may need to feed my starter to allow it to multiply or I may want to avoid a holiday, or etc. :-)
    Please check out my other listings as well.  If you would
    like to order more than one of my items, be sure to place all items in your cart and "request a total" from me.  If you do so I am happy to combine postage where I can!  I generally check emails at least 2 times a day (except not on Sunday), so I generally will get back with you promptly!
    Please feel free to contact me with any questions or any issues with placing your order!  I am here to assist you!
