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!

Very easy to use, and very fresh as well! Especially if you don't want to go through the mess of creating your own from scratch or have failed each time making one from scratch like I have. The size was as advertised. As long as you follow the directions your starter will turn out the way it's meant to. I fed mine King Arthur's whole wheat flour for the first couple of days and I am now switching to King Arthur's Unbleached Bread Flour to maintain it and to help get rid of the acetone smell that developed as it was fermenting and eating through the whole wheat flour too fast. You want a texture that is more stiff and hard rather then runny or pancake like, similar to a dairy queen blizzard where it can't fall out of the your jar or container. I can't wait to beging baking with my starter and taste the flavors of sourdough bread. I do keep my starter in the microwave as it's the only place that stays warm in my apartment. Here's a picture of my starter having risen quite a bit being fed only Whole wheat flour.

Starter doubled on Day 2 and 3 It comes with fantastic directions that are easy to follow. I bought this so I could learn to bake while my homemade sourdough starter becomes active and strong. I can't wait to start baking!

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

I followed the directions to a T and it has been working out fine. I’ve been regularly feeding it since November and it’s doing great, though I haven’t made any successful loaves just yet 🙈. It’s only JUST now getting mature enough to make a good loaf because I put it in the fridge for a few weeks to slow down the yeast activity. Pulled it out of the fridge the other day and have been feeding it daily. It’s look beautiful. Can’t wait to try and bake with it again!

I’ve tried to make my own starter 4 times now. The last one got to day 14 and then grew mold 😵‍💫 I decided to give this one a try. Directions are easy to follow. I’m already seeing bubbles and rise on day 2. I’m shocked. I can’t wait to bake with this. Photo shown is hour 26 (day 2, 2 hours)

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.

Is the best starter! I’ve bought other starters and none have become active. With this one is different! After 3-4 days I’d doubling in size! Can’t wait to start making bread with it. If you’re looking into sourdough and don’t have the patience to make your own starter consider this one! I will definitely buy it again if I have to.
