Hello Bluesky new joiners, if you're into Sourdough I've created a nice starter pack to help you find more people to follow. go.bsky.app/Su1cnbR
Almost as good as der Zimtschnecke from Zeit für Brot! <-- if you have not tried those yet, please look for them! 😄

That works great with an active sourdough starter 👍
This one was dehydrated and dormant for ~8 months, so I’m taking it slower to rebuild strength before treating it like a regular fridge starter. 🫙

I never froze it 🙂
It was just dehydrated and kept dry for ~8 months.
It did produce good bubbles back then too.
Here’s a pic from when I dehydrated it:

My sourdough starter, currently 100% whole wheat mix. (For the picture it was 10h on starvation but still holding)
And on the right side, producing a brand new batch of dried starter backup

Day 4: I fed it this morning and this is what I got after 7h!
It’s definitely alive!!
Next step: regular feedings to build strength.
The temp is 28C, I'll probably feed twice a day or even three times, let's see

Day 3: Skip the feed yesterday was not a good idea, after 36h it was runny and with some hooch. I fed it immediately and will wait a day to feed it again.
No pictures today, but it still shows activity.

Showing some signs! 🫙

Day 2: there’s activity! 🙂
I won’t feed it today. It’s still slow, so we’ll rely on the last feed.
Let’s wait and see how it behaves on the next 24h

Looks great!!! I really need to try to bake buns one day!

Day 1: After 24h it started slowly showing activity with very tiny bubbles on top, hard to spot tho. I fed 1:1:1 after 28h and let's see how it reacts.
Temp: ~26C/79F

There are plenty of articles on how to rehydrate a sourdough starter, but I won’t revisit them. I vaguely remember one suggesting water only for the first feed, so that’s what I’m doing.
Final ratio: 20g starter + 25g water. I started with 16g starter, but it was too liquid, so I bumped it to 20g.

In case you missed it, this is how the sourdough starter was dehydrated 👇

Let’s see if it still remembers how to be bread.

And here we go, 48g of dried sourdough starter, ready to be stored as a backup or given as a gift to some friend in need.

Visiting my brother for a couple weeks.
Mission: bring this dehydrated starter back to life and bake bread for the family.
I’ll document everything in this 🧵

Stay tuned for the next couple posts. I'm about to travel with it and bring it back to life 😆

Indeed feed with bread flour is not worth it. I feed only with AP and when I want to boost it I add a pinch of WW or Rye on the mix, the starter loves it!

Hydration is a bit tricky, indeed! What matters at the end is the protein level in the flour 😂

I use a regular home oven, maximum temperature and pizza stone on the very top of it getting all the heat possible.

At this temp I'd feed it with very cold water to slow fermentation down, and probably 3 feeds a day

Thank you! I'm not using parchment paper in the puma tin pan, that one was direct contact.

Cinnamon sourdough Babka. That was a second try, way better than the first one and still a lot to improve, specially during the braid part.
Delicious tho, pure cinnamon and sugar!
