Review: Amazing! - I've used a few starters over the years, but this was the first time I ever bought a dried starter online, so I was curious and a bit anxious if it would work the same as others. It did take a week to rehydrate and revive it, but once it was ready to use, the bread I make with it is amazing! This starter is powerful, it works fast and makes the dough rise well. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
Review: Dead on arrival! - What I received appeared to be old, dried up crust or crusted dough. So, I followed the instructions to a "T". I mixed with the appropriate amount of warm, filtered water and flour. I put the mixture in a clean "Starter Jar" and marked the level, accordingly. The following day, I did not see much in the way of bubbling or a rise in the level. I smelled it, and it smelled a little off but, it had been a while, so I followed through with the instructions for days 2 & 3. By now, there was clearly no rising, and the dough had a rancid smell. I poured the mixture down the drain. I cleaned and rinsed the container, thoroughly, and started over. This time, I used; regular, off-the-shelf bread yeast that one can buy at any grocery store or market. Following the same instructions as on the "starter kit", I was impressed by the results. The mixture would easily double in size while "working", and reduce in volume (mostly) once the yeast had consumed most of the sugars. Each day, I added four and war, filtered water, as suggest (Same water, by the way) with outstanding results. It is day 6 now, and I will be baking with my absolutely wonderfully smelling sour dough, tomorrow. I will repeat the process through the next week. I think my goal is to have fresh bread and/or pizza dough every weekend! I can't wait! Why bother with the kits? Just get yourself some good yeast and get it going. No one will ever know the difference!!!

MUST BUY STARTER! This is a great starter and would recommend it to anyone looking to start their sour dough journey. Not only do you get a starter to make bread with but you get access to the 5 star support chat. The seller provides excellent customer service. I was having some trouble in the beginning but she helped me work through the steps and ensured that I ended up with a healthy bubbly starter. Not only that but she goes above and beyond to ensure you are happy with the product.
