Our take on the Cultures For Health San Francisco Sourdough Starter

This is a dehydrated sourdough culture in a 0.19 oz packet that you revive with flour and water to bake San Francisco-style bread. It is a one-time purchase: once active, you keep feeding it and bake from it indefinitely. Activation takes about a week, and the starter is ready to bake roughly four hours after the final feeding. It suits beginners because sourdough starters are forgiving, and it is a low-commitment way to try home sourdough against buying fresh starter or a ready-made loaf.
