KneadAce Sourdough Starter Culture – Fast-Activating Natural Wild Yeast for Homemade Bread – Dehydrated Sourdough Starter for Baking Artisan Loaves, Easy to Use & Perfect for Beginners

I got this ten days ago and started it immediately.It's now very active, smells wonderful.I've seen that some people had issues.Never use chlorinated tap water in starter. Boil tap water for 15 minutes and let cool to remove the chlorine, chlorine kills yeast!If your home is drafty or cold, sit a cardboard box over your starter.I keep my starter in a Sourdough Home, currently at 55° and feeding every other day.I've been using my discard for pancakes and biscuits, great eats!The photo is about three hours after feeding at 55°

I was intimidated by sourdough for a year, I couldn’t get to start. But I decided to splurge on this culture to reduce the guess work. It has very easy to follow and simple directions . It doesn’t say how to bake the sourdough but it gets your starter going and it’s strong! It took me day 3 I started to make a loaf, I have been using this low for a week and making a (small) loaf a day as I wanted to perfect timing, folding, and methods. It has been so fool proof and sourdough is very forgiving!! Just go for it. This has made the start very easy and good for me to build my confidence and I was even able to build a nice started for a couple of friends. If you’re wondering if it works? It does!

Followed instructions. My house is a little cooler at this time of year than the yeast would like. So it took an extra day or so to get active, but it’s looking great and I’ll be able to bake this weekend.

I’m surprised it doesn’t have better reviews! I’m so grateful for it! I was scared to jump down the sourdough journey. Online makes it seem intense. This was my way to simplify it. And I was baking bread on day 5. Since then (4 months ago) I’ve continued to make yummy beautiful breads. I highly recommend this! And other items from the same seller.

I think its good? Was used for a science experiment and produced gas/stayed alive.

The starter worked for me. It took four days to get going because my house temperature is 69 degrees, which is a bit cooler than the recommended temperature. Once it started working, I was getting plenty of starter. I soon used some of it to make sourdough bread and tortillas.

I've had this starter and been feeding it for 9 days now And it has only Barely rose one time. There were plenty of active bubbles.But now this morning I woke up and there was only two bubbles.

I live in Illinois and tried to grow my own starter the whole winter… but its just too cold and even indoors I just could not get it right. This cheat however did the trick 😎!! Followed the instructions and within a few days I had an active starter kit. So glad I did this. Loving my sourdough bread!!
