Living Dough - 233 Year Old San Francisco Sourdough Starter Culture - Active & Live Organic Sourdough Starter for Baking - For Artisanal Bread, Pizza Dough, Waffles & More

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars all day!I knew that it took a long time to make your own starter from scratch and get it healthy - with all the necessary organisms and everything- so I ordered this and couldn’t be happier. It was easy to feed and grow, and I loved that it came with directions - as this was my first time ever working with a starter or making my own sourdough. The quality was on point and the taste is absolutely delicious in my breads and cinnamon buns!This starter also lasts! I accidently forgot to feed my starters for a little over a month - and just had them sitting in my fridge, and one of my starter jars still stayed alive despite the odds. I love that you buy this and then it just keeps multiplying; I have given a friend of mind some of this starter too - instead of discarding it, as every time you feed it - it multiplies. It's the gift that just keeps on giving! I highly recommend this organic sourdough starter - I've had mine for about a year now and absolutely love it!

After hurricane Milton my starter died because we evacuated the state and I couldn't feed it. I know what you're saying, why not just refrigerate it? Well I did but we lost power for a week, so sadly everything in the refrigerator went to the trash because it was unsafe to eat. After trying and failing miserably multiple times to make my own starter I bit the bullet and bought one. I was wary of buying one off amazon but the reviews were promising so I figured it was cheap enough to risk it for the sourdough biscuit and I am so glad I did! This starter comes with clear and easy to follow instructions and within 2 days I had an active starter. The taste is incredible and not overly funky, and the texture is smooth and easy to incorporate. Great starter for any baker- especially one like myself who can't make a starter to save her life but can make a mean loaf!

Fabulous starter! The instructions were easy to understand and worked to activate the starter. The sourdough bread was amazing. I highly recommend

I can't get the lid off! Apparently others have also had problems. Is there some sort of trick?UPDATE.I finally got the lid off (hint, it is not screwed on, so turning the lid to unscrew it does nothing - you have to pry/pop it off).Having finally gotten to the starter, I fed it slowly (at room temperature) with small, equal amounts (by weight) of bottled water and bread flour for about a week and a half, and it easily came back to life. I now have a good, healthy starter - and just baked with it for the first time. The bread came out wonderful.I've been baking sourdough bread for years, and have had a number of starters, and I must say this is one of the best I've ever used. The smell is deep, rich, and has that distinctive tanginess. I'd recommend this to everyone from sourdough beginners to people that are very experienced. It is just an excellent product.I also want to add a note about the Seller. I posted an initial review, just complaining about the lid. The seller reached out to me offering a replacement or refund. I was tied up with other things and didn't respond. Without even being asked, he sent another starter. I was very pleasantly surprised. The company genuinely cares about happy customers.So - bottom line - my grumpy one star review has been changed to five stars. This is an excellent product, sold by a very responsible company.
