It is made by feeding your starter equal parts of wheat flour and water, which is left to ferment in a clean jar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe starter is then used in place of store-bought commercial yeast to leaven bread dough through the process of fermentation by wild yeasts. The starter also adds flavour, texture, and a unique aroma to the bread. Sourdough bread is made by combining the starter with bread flour, salt, and water to form a dough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRye flour, Spelt flour, all-purpose white flour and whole wheat flour can also be used to bake sourdough bread. The dough is then kneaded, shaped, and left to rise. After the bread is baked, the starter is used again for the next batch of bread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSymbiota's dehydrated starter is ideal as a backup or gift, with a long shelf life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do I receive in my sourdough starter purchase?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e1\/4 - 1\/2 cup of live \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esourdough starter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (or dried equivalent)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStep-by-step instructions for feeding and maintaining your starter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeginner-friendly sourdough bread recipe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Symbiota","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46479460270305,"sku":"SM.WS-K-SDD","price":44.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/0805\/6756\/files\/SMWS-K-SDD.jpg?v=1784602117","url":"https:\/\/millyskitchen.co.nz\/products\/symbiota-dried-sourdough-starter-kit","provider":"Milly's Kitchen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
