Ready to dive into the world of sourdough? The first thing you'll need is a strong, reliable sourdough starter!
 
I’ve taken my own established starter and dehydrated it at a low temperature to preserve its vibrant, active cultures. Poppy is rich in wild yeasts and lactobacilli and simply needs to be revived with a few consistent daily feedings.
 
Within about a week you'll have a happy, active starter ready to use to bake sourdough goodies in your own kitchen!
 
Each starter includes a QR code linking you directly to my step-by-step blog post for reviving and maintaining your starter.

If you’d like deeper guidance as you begin your sourdough journey, my book, The Sourdough Mini Guide: Just the Essentials for Beginner Sourdough Bakers, walks you through the foundations of sourdough with simple, approachable instruction. It’s designed to help you build confidence, understand the process, and bake beautiful, nourishing bread at home.
