Where to buy a potato flake sourdough starter

Did you know you can buy a live and already very active potato flake starter instead of making your own? If you’ve been itching to try your hand at potato flake sourdough but you don’t want to make your own. Maybe you just would rather have a well established strong and active starter. I’ll share with you today just the perfect place.

Why buy a starter instead of making one?

Before diving into where to buy a potato flake starter. Let’s talk about why someone would want to buy one in the first place. It’s true, you can just make your own at home. However, I have seen many people succeed, as well as fail when it comes to making a starter for the first time.

Technically, it is more expensive to buy an established starter. This is for good reason. An established starter has undergone countless feedings to develop its strength.

If you count the amount of ingredients that you will put into your new starter, and count for any set backs, or having to start over…you may end up saving money in the long run by buying an established starter.

Buying an established starter is definitely going to save you some time. Creating a sourdough starter from scratch requires patience and dedication, as it can take several days or even weeks for the starter to become fully active and ready for baking. If you’re eager to start baking right away, purchasing a starter can be a time-saving option that allows you to get started sooner.

Where to Find Potato Flake Sourdough Starter

Now, you might be wondering where on earth you can get your hands on your own potato flake starter. I’ve got you covered. Here are a few places to look:

1. Online Retailers: One of the easiest ways to find potato flake sourdough starter is to check out online retailers. I haven’t come across many places online that sell a mature and active potato flake starter. I know you can find my listing on etsy where I have listed live portions of my potato flake starter, that has been thriving for years.
2. Local Bakeries: It’s possible that you may have a local bakery that uses a potato flake starter to make their bread. Many bakeries sell sourdough starters and other baking essentials to customers who want to try their hand at home baking. Give your favorite bakery a call or stop by to see if they carry potato flake sourdough starter.
3. Potato Flake Starter Support Groups: Joining online groups or forums can be a great way to connect with fellow bakers and find potato flake sourdough starters. Members of these groups often share tips, tricks, and even starter cultures with one another.
4. DIY: If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even try making your own potato flake sourdough starter from scratch! All you need is dry active yeast, water, sugar, potato flakes, and a little bit of patience.

Tips for Choosing a Potato Flake Sourdough Starter

When selecting a potato flake sourdough starter, here are a few things to keep in mind:
