Instructions for re activating Dehydrated Sourdough Starter Flakes
Day 1.
8 am
Add 25g starter flakes to the jar with 50g warm water and mix together. Allow to sit and start to rehydrate starter.
12pm
Add 50g flour and mix together. Leave in warm place.
8pm
Mix 50g water and 50g flour to the mixture. Stir together and leave in warm place.
Day 2
8am
Discard all but 50g starter. Add 50g flour and 50g water to the starter and stir together. Leave in a warm place.
8pm
There should be bubbles in the starter and it will have risen. If not, do not worry! Remove all but 50g of the starter and feed again with 50g flour and 50g water.
Day 3
8am
Discard all but 50g starter and feed with 50g flour and 50g water. If the starter rises in the next 6-8 hours it will be ready to use. If not continue to remove and feed starter until you get a good rise.
-
No Activity by Day 3: Ensure the environment is warm enough and the starter isn’t too runny. Add a pinch of sugar or honey, or try a 50:50 mix of white and whole wheat flour.
-
Liquid on Top (Hooch): This is normal and indicates the starter is hungry. Stir it in and feed as scheduled. If mold appears, discard the batch and start over with fresh flakes, ensuring a clean jar and proper water.
-
Crusty Surface: If the starter dries out (e.g., in a microwave with a light), use a looser cover and ensure the environment isn’t too dry. Stir well during feedings to rehydrate.
-
Slow Rise: Feed twice daily and keep warm. If it’s still sluggish after 7 days, the starter may have been dehydrated improperly (e.g., too hot), reducing viability. Try a new batch of flakes.
Additional Information
Adding additional flours can be optional too if you choose to expand on your Sourdough Baking Skills. Why not add some Rye or even Spelt to really boost your baking!
