San Francisco Sourdough Starter Culture- 100+ Year Old Dehydrated Heirloom Style Sourdough Starter Kit for Sourdough Bread, Pizza, Buns, Pancakes, Muffins | Easy to follow instructions. By Captain

This sourdough starter did not disappoint. It was doubling and bubbling within 36 hours and ready for baking on day 3! I have to give a shoutout to the customer service agent who was quick to answer my questions and assure me that I was doing all the right things. I would definitely recommend this starter to anyone who wants to try baking sourdough bread.

I have been trying to make my own but am unable. Lol. I ordered this and started it today. Tomorrow I will know more. But instructions are very clear, easy to understand. Packing is beautiful. Well update on starter. Absolutely perfect, it's working great and looking forward to baking with it soon!!

Absolutely love! Shipping was fast but also the starter is amazing itself! I tried doing a homemade starter but grew impatient. The directions are so easy and basically fool proof. I’m on day 5 and since day 3 it has been rising and falling how it should be, doubling if not more! Tonight I’m trying to make bread for the first time and we’ll see how it goes! Smell is perfect, sour but fresh and so bubbly and active ! I know I may be jumping the gun trying out the bread this early, but based on all my research it’s promising hence the activity and rising time in the starter!

In spite of following the directions to the letter, this sourdough starter did not "activate" and eventually developed mold on Day 7 and had to be thrown away. The Captain Sourpants company was quick to reply to my inquiries and is working to refund/replace the packet. Koodos to the company!! Maybe I just got a bad packet.

When you open the package I was pleasantly surprised that the starter was in a smaller package and not just ready to fall out all over! I fed the starter as requested and within 2 days tiny bubbles were forming and by day 6 it was a great starter, bubbling well, rising high, then deflating as per a sourdough starter should. Made some pancakes & New York style Bagels and both tasted often! I love my new San Francisco Sourdough Starter!
