Living Dough - 900 Year Old Sourdough Starter Culture - Active & Live Organic Sourdough Starter for Baking - For Artisanal Bread, Pizza Dough, Waffles & More

I’ve had a wonderful experience with this sourdough starter. It activated well, was easy to maintain, and produced delicious sourdough bread with great flavor and texture. One of the things I enjoyed most was using the discard for other recipes. I’ve made pancakes and several other baked goods, and everything turned out fantastic. The instructions were clear, and the starter has been very reliable. Highly recommend for both beginners and experienced sourdough bakers! 🍞

The Living Dough 400 Year Old History Black Death Sourdough Starter is both a conversation piece and a fantastic baking ingredient. It arrived active and easy to feed, and within a couple of days I had a strong, bubbly starter ready to bake with. The flavor it brings to bread is outstanding—complex, slightly tangy, and perfect for artisan-style loaves. I’ve also used it for pizza dough and waffles with great results. Clear instructions made it simple to maintain, even if you’re newer to sourdough. If you love baking and appreciate a bit of history behind your food, this starter is absolutely worth it.

This was delivered to me on a Friday evening. I feed it thrice over Friday and Saturday. By Saturday night it was doubling within 4 hours. On Sunday I feed it in the morning and the evening. That night I started my levain (48 hours after the package arrived). I baked those loaves this morning (Tuesday) and they may have been the best I have ever had. Tangy and delicious. Toasted beautifully, crunchy crust. I started more this morning, this time with Cranberries and Walnuts. We'll see how that goes on Thursday or Friday. This starter is the real deal. Solid, healthy, and overall fantastic.

I have never made homemade bread of any kind. I can say this is great for a beginner. The instructions were clear on what to do . It was easy to feed and grow. The bread is delicious.

I’m really impressed with this living sourdough starter. It arrived fresh, healthy, and already bubbling. You can tell it comes from a long-standing 75-year-old culture because it becomes active fast and has a really rich aroma. I fed it once, and it doubled in size with no problem. My bread came out soft on the inside with a perfect crust and a nice tangy flavor. I’ve tried other starters before, but this one was by far the most reliable and easiest to maintain. It’s great for beginners but also good if you already bake and just want a strong, well-established starter. Definitely worth it if you want authentic sourdough without the hassle of starting from scratch!
