Over time we will be adding an alaskan sourdough yeast and a San Francisco sourdough yeast, both of which have a long history and have been cultivated to stay in their original form. This starter has been aquired from an old timer in the sierra's of the foothills in california. We were lucky to get this one, and you will be also. It is very active and extra sour. A proven winner!!! OLD Bill said he has won many blue ribbons for this one, and he says it has been past down from generation to generation. Now maybe he was telling me a fib or two, but this starter is a gun slinger and makes lots of gas, which means big holes. We also include recipes for the perfect loaf, pizza dough, bread rolls and lots of help. Have fun with our starters and enjoy Instructions are included to activate our starter, in fact it's so simple here they are: Mix 1/2 cup all purpose flour, 1/2 cup lukewarm pure water, package of starter powder in a plastic bowl Cover bowl and put on the counter On the second day just stir it up.
