Sourdough Starter: Bring it Back to Life

Accidents happen—sometimes our beloved sourdough starter doesn’t make it. Maybe it got moldy, maybe it overheated in the oven (we’ve all been there!), or maybe the jar slipped and met the kitchen floor. Don’t worry—this doesn’t mean your sourdough baking journey is over even though it may feel that way!

Whether you have a dried starter or purchased one online, reviving your starter is actually simple—and a little bit magical.

I’ve created a step-by-step guide you can download right here:

Why Dried Starter Is Amazing

Dried starter is basically your sourdough’s “pause button.” The wild yeast and bacteria are dormant but still alive. With just flour, water, and a little patience, you can wake them back up and have a bubbly, happy starter ready for baking in a few days.

The Simple Process

Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll find in the guide:

  1. Rehydrate – Mix the dried flakes with warm water and let them soak.

  2. Feed – Add flour and stir into a paste.

  3. Wait & Repeat – Over a few days of feedings, bubbles and tangy aroma return.

  4. Celebrate – Once your starter doubles in size, you’re ready to bake!
