Sourdough Mumma Organic Traditional Sourdough Starter 20g

Sourdough Mumma Organic Traditional Sourdough Starter 20g is a dehydrated culture for beginning a traditional wheat-based sourdough starter at home. Made from organic wheat flour and filtered water, the compact packet provides the foundation for a reusable culture that can be maintained for future baking. It is designed to be activated with filtered water and Sourdough Mumma Traditional Feed My Starter Mix.

Activation takes place in a clean jar through a sequence of measured feeds and resting periods. You will need filtered water, kitchen scales, a fork or spoon and the matching traditional feed mix. Follow the quantities and timing printed on the current packet, because room temperature affects fermentation speed. A warmer environment generally encourages activity, while cooler conditions may extend the process. The starter should develop visible bubbles and a characteristic fermented aroma as it becomes active.

Once established, use the quantity required by your chosen sourdough recipe and retain the remaining culture for later baking. Keep it refrigerated in a well-sealed jar when it is not being fed or activated, and refresh it regularly according to the packet directions. The starter can support a practical home-baking routine for traditional sourdough bread, focaccia and other wheat-based recipes. Measuring each feed accurately helps maintain consistency from bake to bake. It also makes changes in the culture easier to observe over time.

The formula contains organic wheat flour and is therefore not suitable for people avoiding wheat or gluten. It is vegan, vegetarian and dairy free according to the supplier information. This product is a baking ingredient rather than a ready-to-eat food. Always read the packet supplied for current ingredients, allergen information and activation directions. Use clean equipment throughout, store the unopened packet in a cool, dry place and discard an activated culture if mould, unusual colour or other signs of spoilage develop.
