KneadAce Sourdough Starter Culture – Fast-Activating Natural Wild Yeast for Homemade Bread – Dehydrated Sourdough Starter for Baking Artisan Loaves, Easy to Use & Perfect for Beginners

I’m a beginner who has always been intimidated to start the sourdough process, however this starter is fool proof with step by step instructions. I had active starter within 3 days and baked my very first loaf! It tasted great! Highly recommend!

This starter is amazing, I attempted making a starter from scratch with no additional tools in the middle of winter, it failed. I purchased this starter and have been baking multiple loaves a week. Its quick and easy to rehydrate and maintain thereafter. I highly recommend for beginners.

I have wanted to try my hand at a sourdough starter, so I decided to try this brand. I liked the reviews, and the price was good. It was easy to mix, and the step-by-step instructions were easy to follow (they even provide a phone number for any help you may need). It took about two weeks until I had a strong starter that I could bake with. I just started baking this week, and although my loaves do not look the best, they taste great. I would recommend this brand to anyone who wants to start their sourdough journey.

At first, a funny smell. Day two it was gray looking and did not smell like sourdough starter. Third day it had some mold growing on it so I threw it out. I hope the seller can refund me or possibly replace it. I don’t know if The other pack that I got with it is of the same quality. . Not a very good starter. Probably will try the 2nd pack, Then move on. Here’s the review update. They sent me another package of this to try. I haven’t as of yet, but I can change the review some and up the number of stars. Thanks for sending again

This is a pretty good starter, it seems. I followed the directions in the brochure, even to the point of fanatically weighing the flour and water. As expected, the first day nothing really happened. On day 2, it wasn't really bubbling, but it was expanding. (In other words, it was producing carbon dioxide but it wasn't bubbling out of the dough.) Now we're on day 3 and the thing is going great. I haven't actually baked with it yet, but I'm going to take some of the discard and give it to family, freeze some as a backup, and then routinely make biscuits with it along with bread. Most of the starters I've used in the past take more than a week to really get going. It also smells pretty good. I'll hopefully be using this mother for years to come.

I followed the instructions thoroughly and the starter culture took off beautifully and as expected. I was able to bake a delicious sourdough bread already on Day 4. I had never had a "San Francisco Style" sourdough starter and must say it is really delicious and not very sour at all.

The instructions are very easy to follow! I bought starter kit with it which was super easy to use, and after two days, my starter had doubled in size. I would highly recommend if you want to get into sourdough!

When I received my starter, it did not rise, Apparently, it lost it's liveliness in the shipping process. Probably mid-summer heat. There was a customer service number with the name of Sarah in the package documents, so I called. Sarah was wonderful. She was surprised that the starter didn't grow. She said she had a fresh batch that was almost ready and would ship me a replacement right away! I got it quickly just as she promised. It works wonderfully! Very active starter and easy to use. I cannot recommend Kneadace and this product highly enough. A+++++
