This sourdough starter was easy to get going and worked well with regular feedings. The instructions were simple to follow, and within a short time it became active and bubbly. The starter has a nice classic sourdough smell and produced flavorful bread with a good rise. It’s fun using a starter with so much history behind it, and it seems strong and reliable once established. The amount provided was enough to get started comfortably, and it reacted well during feeding without any issues. Great option for anyone wanting to try homemade sourdough without starting completely from scratch. Pros: * Easy to activate * Active and bubbly with feedings * Produces flavorful sourdough * Fun piece of baking history Cons: * Requires patience and regular feeding like any starter Overall, this is a great starter culture for beginners or experienced bakers wanting a reliable sourdough starter with good flavor and activity.

Great starter. Easy to use and comes with instructions. I was able to make some waffles by day four. I will suggest to feed it based off of grams versus the cup measurements that they give in the instructions. Nevertheless it works for me. I saw another reviewer state that their starter wasn’t working and they did everything they were supposed to including using bread flour. Please only feed your starter with all-purpose flour. You may use bread flour when making your loaf.

So happy I decided to try this. Very clear, easy instructions with additional FAQs and troubleshooting tips. I lost my booklet but the website is extremely helpful. Made my very first loaf ever last night and it’s delicious. You do not need to buy expensive ingredients to make this perfect

I’m not new to sourdough but thought I’d try this one. My first loaf was tasty and edible but I didn’t get even close to the rise I wanted. A few more feedings and second loaf was picture perfect. Great smell and taste can’t wait to make more!

Wonderful starter. A little pricy from some dehydrated starter but works well. Rose the following day so I can't complain makes beautiful bread and didn't have any issues.

I’m very happy with this starter! The instructions were easy to follow. Mine became very active by day 3, so I baked on day 4, and the bread came out amazing. I’m still feeding it according to the instructions and plan to bake again on day 7. If you’ve been struggling with your starter, believe me—you need this! Great taste and texture! Update: The last two photos and video are from day 10, and the starter is definitely getting better every day. I want to note that, as we know, this process takes time because it isn’t just about the starter. Bulk fermentation and cold proofing are a must! This latest loaf was cold-proofed in the refrigerator for 49 hours. I’ve been increasing the proofing time because, in the past, my bread didn’t come out like this. Since I got this starter, it has completely changed my sourdough game. I’m very impressed with the results so far!

I’m completely new to bread making, and after two failed attempts at creating my own sourdough starter, I decided to give this one a try. The instructions were simple and easy to follow, and the results exceeded my expectations. My starter was ready to bake with in just 4–5 days, and I’ve consistently made beautiful, delicious loaves ever since. It has been reliable, easy to maintain, and perfect for a beginner like me. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get started with sourdough baking!

This is the best starter and will give you success from the start. A year later and it is still going strong and tastes great!

Not amazing. Followed all the instructions, but the starter was still not ready to bake

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.

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!

I just had to toss this starter that I've been babying for 3.5 weeks. I followed instructions to a T, it struggled to increase in volume. Within 24 hours it developed the dreaded pink/orange streaks, which meant I need to toss the whole thing out. I kept it in a draft free place w a tea towel wrapped around it. I discarded and fed it properly. Overall, I am very dissapointed, almost a month of babying it down the tube's!

For anyone struggling to start their own sourdough starter from scratch, this dehydrated starter will do the trick. IT comes with clear instructions that are very easy to follow through. Been up and going and backing for sometime now. Excellent choice if you are into baking sourdough breads.
