Stella is a live sourdough starter sold dehydrated, so it ships safely and keeps until you are ready to bake. You rehydrate it with flour and water, then feed it on a regular schedule; once active it can be kept going indefinitely. It is aimed at beginners who want a real, naturally fermented culture without hunting down a local baker, and it is cheaper and simpler than buying a fresh starter that must be used quickly. Reviewers describe it as strong and active, with clear instructions that make the first bake manageable.

Buyers call the starter strong and active, and say the instructions made rehydration easy to follow.
Stella is a live sourdough starter that has been grown, fed and then dehydrated so it can be shipped safely. It is naturally fermented and contains no commercial yeast. It is made with unbleached hard red wheat flour, malted barley flour and filtered water.
The dehydrated starter is rehydrated and fed to activate it. Once activated, it can last a lifetime with regular feeding. It can be used for classic sourdough bread, pizza dough, pancakes and more.
The kit includes written instructions for rehydrating and feeding the starter. A tips-for-success card gives recipe recommendations for wheat and gluten-free breads, flour recommendations and an FAQ.
