Frequently asked questions

What is a Sourdough Starter?

A sourdough starter is a live culture of naturally occurring wild yeast and beneficial bacteria used to make sourdough bread. It acts as a natural leavening agent, helping dough rise while developing the distinctive flavour and texture of sourdough.

What is included with this product?

This product includes 50g of live sourdough starter, taken directly from Tabchilli's active starter culture. It is never dried, making it ready for feeding and baking after following the recommended care instructions.

Is this a live sourdough starter?

Yes. This is a live, active sourdough starter, not a dehydrated or powdered starter. It is maintained on pure rye flour to support consistent baking performance.

What flour is used to maintain the starter?

The starter is regularly fed with pure rye flour, providing a strong and active foundation for baking sourdough bread.

Is this sourdough starter suitable for beginners?

Yes. This starter is suitable for both beginners and experienced bakers. With regular feeding and proper care, it can be used to bake homemade sourdough bread repeatedly.

Can I keep the starter indefinitely?

Yes. With consistent feeding and proper maintenance, a live sourdough starter can be maintained for an extended period, allowing you to bake fresh sourdough whenever you choose.

What can I make with a sourdough starter?

A live sourdough starter can be used to prepare a variety of baked goods, including:
● Sourdough bread
● Artisan bread
● Pizza dough
● Focaccia
● Rolls
● Bagels
● Crackers
● Other naturally leavened baked recipes

How should I store my sourdough starter?

If you are baking regularly, the starter can be maintained through routine feeding. If not in frequent use, store it according to the recommended care instructions and feed it before baking again.

How often should I feed the starter?

Feeding schedules vary depending on how often you bake and whether the starter is kept at room temperature or refrigerated. Following a reliable sourdough feeding routine will help maintain an active culture.

Can I use this starter immediately?

Yes. Because this is a live starter, it can be prepared for baking after following the recommended feeding and activation process outlined in your recipe or care instructions.

What is the difference between a live sourdough starter and a dehydrated starter?

A live sourdough starter is already active and contains living yeast and bacteria ready to be maintained through feeding. A dehydrated starter must first be rehydrated and reactivated before it is ready for baking.
