Organic Fresh Live Sourdough Starter Culture — Beginner-Friendly Sourdough Starter Kit

154 year-old Cape Cod Sourdough Live Starter - Meet your fresh, living dough sourdough starter—

Bake real organic sourdough bread at home with our Organic Fresh Live Sourdough Starter Culture, a beginner-friendly sourdough culture starter made for consistent, reliable results.

Unlike dried starters, this fresh sourdough starter is shipped alive and ready to use — making it easier for new bakers to succeed while still delivering the depth of flavor artisan bakers expect from a traditional sourdough starter culture.

This living culture works much like a yogurt starter culture, relying on naturally occurring wild yeast and beneficial bacteria to ferment dough slowly, improving flavor, texture, and digestibility.

Descended from a starter lovingly nurtured in Cape Cod for decades, this culture carries the strength and reliability of generations of bakers. With just flour, water, and a little patience, it quickly becomes yours—adapting to your kitchen, your climate, and your baking style.

Whether you’re baking rustic loaves, pancakes, bagels, pizza dough, or waffles, this starter opens the door to truly flavorful, naturally fermented baking.

INSTRUCTIONS - FEEDING YOUR SOURDOUGH STARTER

1-3-3 ratio this is like giving your starter a larger "buffet" to feast on. This ratio will slow things down and wakeup your starter and refine the flavor profile and begin your sourdough bread recipe in about 12-18 hours.

Measure out 165 grams of warm spring water.
Add small amounts of spring water to the starter container. Cover and shake to dilute, you want to make the starter thinner. Add the starter to a clean glass jar or bowl. Continue to add small amounts of spring water to the starter container, cover, and shake again to loosen up any left starter and add to your jar or bowl. 

Measure 165 grams of unbleached bread flour and add to your jar or bowl. Stir and mix well. Cover loosely to allow gases to escape.

Put your starter on your kitchen counter overnight. This will get your starter active and healthy in about 12-18 hours depending on the temperature of your room.

How to determine when your starter is ready.
The Goal: Your starter should at least double in size within 12-18 hours of feeding. Pro-Tip: Put a rubber band around your jar at the "starting line" right after you feed it. This gives you a clear visual of exactly how far it has traveled. 

The Bubble Structure
Look through the side of your glass jar.
The Ready Sign: You should see a dense network of bubbles varying in size. Domed or flat with bubbles. When you noticed your starter just starting to sink or concave, it's ready. When you stir it or scoop some out, it should feel light, aerated, and almost like a thick chocolate mousse or marshmallow fluff, rather than a heavy paste.

MAINTAINING SOURDOUGH STARTER
Keep your unused starter in the fridge. When you are ready to bake again use the 1-3-3 ratio. (Example 20g starter – 60 grams water – 60 grams flour.) Let rise for 12-18 hours. You can always mix unused starters together and store them in one jar in the fridge indefinitely.
