BACK TO LIFE
Directions to rehydrate your pizza starter.
Day One
Bringing it back to life...
Put 1 packet of dehydrated pizza starter in a glass jar. Add 3 tablespoons of warm water.
Stir and let sit for 1 hour.
​
After 1 hour, add 2 tablespoons
of flour. Give your starter 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 Makena 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. You'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!
Feed me Seymour...I'm hangry!
Day Four
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 for
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!
Some room to breathe...
Day Five
It’s almost pizza time! If you haven't already, move your starter to our Sourdough Kids Club starter jar. It also gets more food, ½ cup flour and ¼ cup water.
​
It'll grow fast today! Once your starter has doubled in size in 4-6 hours after feeding, you're ready
to bake your first pizza.
