Dehydrated Sourdough Starter Kit | Beginner-Friendly Starter | Eat Well ABQ

Meet Cora. This dehydrated sourdough starter kit gives you the starter, activation guide, bread recipe, and wooden spatula to begin growing your own sourdough culture at home. Cora is a sourdough starting point for sourdough lovers and home bakers, but building an active starter takes time, regular feedings, patience, and attention.

Quick Overview 🥖

Meet Cora — Eat Well ABQ's dehydrated sourdough starter kit made to help you grow your own sourdough culture at home.

This kit gives you a shelf-stable dehydrated sourdough starter, step-by-step activation guidance, and the tools to begin your sourdough baking journey. Cora is designed for anyone who wants to bring a little sourdough magic into their own kitchen.

Cora arrives dehydrated and shelf-stable. She is not an active starter ready to bake with immediately. Activating and growing a strong sourdough culture requires flour, water, regular feedings, observation, and patience. Your timeline and results will vary depending on your feeding routine, flour, water, temperature, and kitchen environment.

Once activated and properly maintained, your dehydrated starter can become a living sourdough culture you can feed, maintain, and bake with again and again.

If you want to learn with a live culture and hands-on instruction, Chef Evangalene's sourdough bread class is the better fit. The class includes a live culture and covers the process in depth and hands-on.

What's Included

• Dehydrated sourdough starter named Cora
• Step-by-step activation guide
• Sourdough bread recipe
• Wooden spatula for mixing and feeding
• Beginner-friendly instructions to help you get started

Why You'll Love It

This kit is made for people who want to grow their own culture. Cora is shelf-stable before activation, easy to store, and a thoughtful way to start or restart a sourdough routine at home.

Best For

• Home bakers who want to grow their own culture
• Sourdough lovers
• Gift giving
• Baking baskets
• Holiday gifts
• Friends or family who want to learn bread baking
• Anyone willing to give sourdough the time and attention it requires

How to Use

When you receive your kit, follow the included guide to activate Cora with flour and water. With regular feedings, your starter can become active, bubbly, and ready to use for sourdough bread and other sourdough bakes.

Do not expect to bake immediately. Your starter must become active and strong enough for baking first, and that process takes time and can vary from kitchen to kitchen.

Important Note
