BRING HOPE BACK
Follow directions below to rehydrate your bread starter.
Day One
Bringing it back to life...
Put packet of our sourdough bread dehydrated starter in a glass jar. Add 3 tablespoons of warm water. Stir and let sit
for one hour.
​
After 1 hour, add 2 tablespoons of flour. Give it a good stir. Cover loosely and let sit on the counter for 24 hours.
Day Two
Alive...and hungry!
After 24 hours add 2 tablespoons of flour and 1 tablespoon of warm water, then mix.
​
Think pancake batter! That’s the consistency you’re going for. Cover loosely and let your starter sit on the counter for another 24 hours.
​
Big changes are coming!
Day Three
Bubble, bubble, toil, and trouble...
You should be noticing bubbles starting to form. We’re getting close now! Add 2 tablespoons of flour and 1 tablespoon of warm water, then mix. ​
​
Let sit at room temperature
another 24 hours. Your starter is about to have a growth spurt!
Day Four
Feed me Seymour...I'm hangry!
You may notice your starter has risen in the jar and fallen back down leaving streaks. This means it's hungry today!
​
Feed your starter ½ cup flour and ¼ cup water. Cover and let sit
another 24 hours.
​
If you used a small glass and her quarters look cramped, time to move her to our Sourdough Kids Club starter jar. It's growing up!
Day Five
Room to breathe...
It’s almost bread time! If you haven't already, move your bread starter to your Sourdough Kids Club jar. You'll also feed it more food, ½ cup flour and ¼ cup water.
​
Your starter will grow fast today! Once it's doubled in size in 4-6 hours after feeding, you're ready to bake
your first loaf.
