Review: Very impressed with starter! - Absolutely love! Shipping was fast but also the starter is amazing itself! I tried doing a homemade starter but grew impatient. The directions are so easy and basically fool proof. I’m on day 5 and since day 3 it has been rising and falling how it should be, doubling if not more! Tonight I’m trying to make bread for the first time and we’ll see how it goes! Smell is perfect, sour but fresh and so bubbly and active ! I know I may be jumping the gun trying out the bread this early, but based on all my research it’s promising hence the activity and rising time in the starter!
Review: Not so hard, easy to get started. - I’m new to sourdough, and this was the easiest way to kick-start a starter. Yes, you can absolutely make one from scratch with just flour and water—the wild yeast in the air will eventually do its thing—but this little packet lets you skip the waiting and start with an established, mature strain. Older strains tend to produce better bread with more complex flavor, and this one delivers. It took about seven days for the starter to develop that classic, wonderful sourdough aroma, and it’s been strong and active ever since. I’m baking nearly every day now, typically using about 150 g of starter with 450 g of flour, 320 g of water, and 10 g of salt for a great loaf. Well worth the effort. Do yourself a favor and pair it with proper sourdough starter jars—it makes the whole process much easier. https://a.co/d/fgKolmV

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Stater
*by H***Y on December 22, 2025*

This starter is exactly as advertised. I needed to use three different starters though, and let me tell you why so you don’t make the same mistakes I made. The first batch of starter barely grew and developed a slight acetone smell after a week of trying. I contacted the seller and they were amazing. They explained that my problem was probably environmental and they were right. It had been on my kitchen counter and the temperature fluctuated too much, so they asked me to try again, and I did. The second batch was done in the oven with the oven light on. This was the perfect temperature and after four days it was ready to use, but my housemate accidentally turned on the oven destroying my batch. So the next idea was to cover the stove controls with post it notes, The third batch was amazing! The post it notes helped in a household where multi people use appliances and prevents any oopsies. On the fourth day, I made focaccia because my dough was too soft, had it sit in the refrigerator for three days and allowed it to proof before I baked it. It had a wonderful flavor and texture, I used an inverted cookie sheet with a pan of water on top to seal in the steam, and it stuck to the bottom, so next time I will use a sheet of parchment paper Then I made an actual round loaf in my very inexpensive dutch oven. I used a small kitchen bowl lined with flour and cheesecloth, covered it to make the right size loaf, nothing fancy, nothing expensive, and let it cure in the refrigerator for three days, I put parchment paper in a warm Dutch oven and baked it to a golden brown. It made great grilled cheese sandwiches. Nice flavor, mildly tangy. Now my third batch is jumbo cupcake size sour dough rounds for Christmas dinner. Those are prepared in a 9*13 pan with giant cupcake papers. It will also cure for three days, proof and then bake it to a golden brown brown. The starter that I have stored in my fridge activates almost immediately and is ready to use the same day I feed it. Fantastic starter
