A living culture, paused.

A living wild culture, cultivated on four organic flours and dehydrated by hand. Alive in 2–3 days, then it bakes for years. Nothing added, nothing hidden.

Live Sourdough Starter

An established heritage culture, cultivated by hand on four organic flours and reverse-osmosis water, then dried slowly so every native strain survives. Rehydrate it and it wakes to full, bubbling activity in two to three days — then it lives for years.

Already alive

This is not a from-scratch project. The culture exists. Drying only pauses it.

Four flours

Whole wheat, rye, 00, einkorn — organic, named, and nothing else but water.

Bought once

Feed it and it outlives every packet of yeast you have ever bought.

How to wake it

Three days. Then it lives.

  1. Day 1 — Rehydrate

    3 tablespoons warm water, then 2 of flour. Loose, soupy, covered loosely, kept warm.

  2. Day 2 — First feed

    No discard. 2 tablespoons flour, 1 of water. Thick pancake batter.

  3. Day 3 — Watch it rise

    Discard to a tablespoon, feed again. When it doubles in 4–8 hours, bake anything.
