Description
This freeze-dried sourdough starter is made from the same starter we have been using at Sunrise Flour Mill for the past six years. Now, using freeze-dried technology, we are able to mail samples of this starter nationwide to help people start baking their own delicious and nutritious sourdough bread!
Like the well-known San Francisco Sourdough, every sourdough starter has a story, lore, or mythology about its origin. This sourdough strain originally came from Italy. It was brought to us by a friend who came across it while traveling in Bolivia. Her Italian friend in Bolivia told her the starter had been maintained for over 100 years and had some very unique characteristics.
Our friend shared some with us and insisted this was a special starter. We quickly discovered it was indeed special, and the rest is history!
What is Heritage wheat?
Heritage wheat was the predominant wheat grown in America up until the 1950’s. Many people find it more digestible than modern wheat. Its long deep root system allowed it to survive the Dust Bowl, and gave the Midwest its famous nickname “The Bread Basket”. Heritage wheat was a staple in every household. The history of it can be tracked to biblical times and has been responsible for nourishing generations. It was grown before the introduction of intensive scientific plant breeding.This wheat is experiencing a resurgence.

Delicious, clean flour with no glyphosate in it! Love this company!

Worked great just follow the directions clear and easy directions. I’ve already made two more orders.

Very easy to use
I follow the inston the package and my starter was ready to use in 6 days. I've use it for pancakes and bread and both came out very well.

Doughlene is amazing
I was nervous because I ordered around Christmas and the shipping took longer than expected but she lives!! I woke up on Christmas morning day 5 to her doubling in size! Best Christmas gift! I’ve been trying to make a from scratch starter and it’s no where close to this! Soo good!

Great for starters
I’m new at making sour dough and this was very easy to follow!

Mellow goodness
Very easy to activate. the instructions in the new booklet are. clear and easy to follow. Achieved hardy bubbles within a few days.

Great Starter
Made my first sourdough bread this week with this starter. The starter was very easy to make and use. Going to feed it again this morning to make more bread.

exciting project!!
it was a lot of fun experimenting with the sourdough started, I had never made my own started before and it was fun to work on it for a few minutes a day and watch its progress... I could not bake the bread on "bake day" so I added to the starter and put it in the refrigerator, set it out the next day & followed all the instructions for letting the starter sit overnight & baking the next day, I was so trilled my bread rose so nicely, was nervous I messed the starter up by putting in in the refrigerator instead of baking it on day #5... the bread turned out delicious and the butter & olive oil tip was excellent, the taste was still pretty mild, but I expected that, especially since I had to postpone bake day...looking forward to experimenting with other types of flour & mix-ins... Great product and highly recommend!

Best starter I've used
The flavor, superb quality and taste of this sourdough is the best I've ever used. Coupled with the heritage flours, my highly gluten sensitive, immunocompromised body loves being able to make, smell and eat and enjoy breads and the nutritional value they bring again without issue to my body. The vitamins and nutrients I could literally feel returning to my undernourished body when I couldn't eat bread or anything with cheap flours because of the issues they caused me with digestion. I love that I finally can enjoy breads again without digestive issues. Highly recommend the sourdough starter and the heritage flours.

Novice
So far, I have been very pleased. Gonna take some practice.

awesome starter!
I’ve struggled getting my own starter to get going so I researched and took a chance on sunrise. Sunny D (my starter name lol) did exactly what I expected, and I’ve had an extremely successful bake. She’s in the fridge now waiting till next week!! Thank you so much and I bought extra to share with my friends!!!!

Wonderful !
Wonderful starter in every way! Awesome , rise and oven spring!!

Sourdough Starter
This stuff is the REAL DEAL.

Just got it. We shall see

Really easy and tasty
Great! Made a great starter in about a week. I've only baked once with it so far, but the bread was tasty. I need to spend more time to get it just right but was very happy with how well it did on the first try!.

A rise
An excellent starter . I had one for several years and got thrown out accidentally. It was like losing a friend . Got this one and 5 days later I’m ready to bake .


Very active
I’ve used this starter several times. It is very active, makes a great tasting loaf. The starter arrived very quickly after ordered.

Sourdough Starter
This is the second sourdough starter that I have worked with and the Sunrise Flour Mill starter is going great! Starting much better than the other brand I used. I am excited to begin making bread with it very soon.

Yummy bread starts with the best flour
Easy to use and worked great!
