The foggy environment in San Francisco fosters a particularly pleasant strain, which is why the city's sourdough has been so acclaimed since all the way back to the Gold Rush.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy capturing that strain, we're able to let you replicate that famously tangy flavor, firm crust, and soft yet chewy consistency at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSan Fran aside, sourdough stays fresh longer than regular bread, and provides more health benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSay It With Sourdough\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou'll have a limitless sourdough supply as long as you keep your starter fed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou're In Control\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can choose to rehydrate and start culturing whenever you please.

Although the probiotics won't survive the baking process, they've already gotten the job done.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile finished sourdough loaves don't contain probiotics, they are chock-full of prebiotics, a type of fiber which helps the other end of digestion. The bacteria that reside in your gut will feed on the prebiotics, releasing nutrients to your body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow do I store the starter?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore your starter in a mason jar with a loose-fitting lid. You can store at room temperature on your counter (starters perform best at 70-85ºF), but we do recommend storing your starter in the fridge to reduce feeding time and waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow do I feed my sourdough starter?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf storing on your countertop, you should feed your sourdough culture once every 24 hours using 1 part starter, 1 part water, and 2 parts flour. If you store it in the fridge, you only have to feed it once every 5-7 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is the best flour and water for feeding my starter?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou may use just about any flour you like, but we recommend avoiding bleached flour, self-rising flour, or cake flour. Non-chlorinated, non-fluoridated water is best; avoid well water, distilled water, and reverse osmosis water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat do I do with my sourdough starter discard?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou could throw it out, or put it in your compost. You can also keep it in a separate jar for up to a week at room temperature or a month in the fridge, and use it for all sorts of recipes, such as waffles, crackers, desserts, and more. (See below.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow can I tell whether or not my starter is healthy?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main thing to keep your eye on is making sure your starter is bubbling; if not, it's likely dead, due to using the wrong flour or water, an unsanitized jar, or screwing the lid on too lightly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur bestselling San Francisco sourdough starter. This is a dehydrated culture, giving you more flexibility if you don't want to start right away?perfect for gifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want to get \"doughing\" right away, our Fresh Sourdough Starter is perfect for you. For best results, this live culture should be opened and fed within 24-48 hours of receipt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSourdough is already easier to digest than regular bread, but if you'd rather avoid gluten altogether, this is the starter for you. Enjoy delicious sourdough without worry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMake deliciously dense, rustic rye sourdough bread with that deep, earthy flavor. Rye is lower in gluten than wheat and thus doesn't require kneading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Flemish-style starter lets you make a sourdough version of that nutrient-rich whole wheat bread?also a great choice for making noodles, muffins, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSourdough is one of the most forgiving cultures to work with, making it a great choice for beginners or breadmaking pros.
