PRO TIP CORNER
You’re looking for your starter to bubble between feedings. That’s the fermentation at work!
The time commitment dedicated to feeding the culture is literally only minutes per day or even per week if the starter is stored in the refrigerator.
The overall time commitment in baking the bread will be 30 to 40 minutes of prep along with a hands-off rising time of 4 to 24 hours.

I activated my sourdough starter over a year ago and it's still going strong and making delicious bread (and pizza crust, and crackers and pretzels!) I have so much fun doing this... Definitely recommend this product.
I purchased the Sourdough starter after many failed attempts to get one going on my own. The starter worked perfectly and the instructions are clear. Having a great time learning about the variety of things to make with sourdough.
I tried to do my own starter with no success. Eventually I decided to just buy the starter from this site, and it started working immediately. I'm not an experienced bread maker, and my first loaves turned out fantastic!
I've tried so many sourdough starters over the year, but this one is hands-down the best. I've been using it for a few months now and can honestly say, last week I made the best loaf of bread I have ever made, and that number is in the thousands.
