Living Dough900 Year Old Sourdough Starter Culture - Active & Live Organic Sourdough Starter for Baking - For Artisanal Bread, Pizza Dough, Waffles & More

Fabulous starter! The instructions were easy to understand and worked to activate the starter. The sourdough bread was amazing. I highly recommend

I've tried both the "Soviet Rye" and "San Francisco Sourdough" variants. Both arrived in good shape, and were ready for first eeding within 24h. After 3-4 days of feeding at room temp, ready to use for bread. No prep or baking issues, both varitants worked fine for me.TBH, I did not notice a huge taste difference between the two styles, but both were good. The crumb from the San Francisco style was probably a bit more coarse than the Sovet Rye.Cost is higher than the dehydrated stuff, but imo worth it. Worthwhile product, no issues, 5 stars.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars all day!I knew that it took a long time to make your own starter from scratch and get it healthy - with all the necessary organisms and everything- so I ordered this and couldn’t be happier. It was easy to feed and grow, and I loved that it came with directions - as this was my first time ever working with a starter or making my own sourdough. The quality was on point and the taste is absolutely delicious in my breads and cinnamon buns!This starter also lasts! I accidently forgot to feed my starters for a little over a month - and just had them sitting in my fridge, and one of my starter jars still stayed alive despite the odds. I love that you buy this and then it just keeps multiplying; I have given a friend of mind some of this starter too - instead of discarding it, as every time you feed it - it multiplies. It's the gift that just keeps on giving! I highly recommend this organic sourdough starter - I've had mine for about a year now and absolutely love it!

I can't get the lid off! Apparently others have also had problems. Is there some sort of trick?UPDATE.I finally got the lid off (hint, it is not screwed on, so turning the lid to unscrew it does nothing - you have to pry/pop it off).Having finally gotten to the starter, I fed it slowly (at room temperature) with small, equal amounts (by weight) of bottled water and bread flour for about a week and a half, and it easily came back to life. I now have a good, healthy starter - and just baked with it for the first time. The bread came out wonderful.I've been baking sourdough bread for years, and have had a number of starters, and I must say this is one of the best I've ever used. The smell is deep, rich, and has that distinctive tanginess. I'd recommend this to everyone from sourdough beginners to people that are very experienced. It is just an excellent product.I also want to add a note about the Seller. I posted an initial review, just complaining about the lid. The seller reached out to me offering a replacement or refund. I was tied up with other things and didn't respond. Without even being asked, he sent another starter. I was very pleasantly surprised. The company genuinely cares about happy customers.So - bottom line - my grumpy one star review has been changed to five stars. This is an excellent product, sold by a very responsible company.

The Living Dough Gluten Free Sourdough Starter Culture is a fantastic choice for anyone wanting fresh, homemade gluten-free baked goods. It arrives active and ready to use, making it easy to create flavorful, airy bread, pizza dough, waffles, and more without the wait of starting from scratch. I love that it’s organic and truly gluten-free, yet still delivers the tangy, artisanal flavor you expect from sourdough. Perfect for both beginners and experienced bakers.

I bought this for my husband so he could start making his own bread and for sourdough pizza. It only took a few days to start bubbling again (since it was dormant when shipped) and it has only been a couple of weeks and it is super active. We have already made bread and pizza with it and it has been a perfect consistency. Comes with instructions, which were very useful when getting the sourdough started.

I was very happy with this purchase, it’s has a nice fluffy texture. Made the most delicious bread that surprisingly my picky kids loved. Mom win

These photos are on my first try! Do not get discouraged! Sourdough is an art and art requires patience!This starter is pure magic! From the very first feed, you can tell it’s alive and full of history; you can almost imagine the generations of bakers who have kept it going for over two centuries. Within days, mine was bubbling away happily, and the flavor it gave my breads… wow. Deep, tangy, complex, and that perfect bakery aroma that fills the whole house.I’ve made crusty sourdough, artisan loaves, chewy pizza dough, and even the most delicious waffles with it.Every bake has been consistent and flavorful. Honestly, it’s like having a little piece of San Francisco’s baking soul right in my kitchen. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to take their baking from good to unforgettable.
