Sourdough Starter Kit - Organic RYE (Dehydrated Wild Yeast)

Rye Sourdough Starter Kit
Wild Yeast with Natural Lactic Acid Bacteria 
comes with detailed instructions and a bread recipe

Product Description:

Re-born in Australia in 2014, and originating from Poland, this starter culture has been maintained with the best quality organic whole rye flour from Wholegrain Milling. It has a peanut butter texture, an appealing light brown colour, and a very distinct fruity flavour profile.

This kit contains a dehydrated whole rye sourdough starter that has been allowed 48 hrs fermentation or until it has fully ripened. We spread a thin layer of live mature starters on sheets of baking paper, and slowly dry them in a food dehydrator until all water evaporates. The crisps are then crushed in a mortar, followed by grinding in a burr grinder to achieve the final powder form. We then weigh and distribute 20 grams into the final packaging. Once rehydrated, it should be ready to use within 48-72hrs.

Works best for traditional rustic loaves of sourdough and baguettes. Add up to 15-20% directly in your recipe, or prepare a leaven first for extra activity (recommended). The starter often doubles or triples its volume within hours after feeding. Ready to use within 24-48 hrs after first feeding.

This starter is a genuine product that we use ourselves. The kit comes with printed maintenance instructions and our favourite step-by-step sourdough bread recipe. You can pin them on your fridge for easy access.

For extra support, we recommend browsing online and reading a few articles on sourdough baking. Watch Youtube videos on kneading, stretching, folding, and shaping techniques. Read a good book, like Tartine Bread by Chad Robertson, or Bread by Jeffrey Hamelman.
