Getting your dried starter ready to bake is super easy! Just follow the below steps! A kitchen scale is recommended but not necessary, starter is resilient!

1. Add the starter
   Place 12g dehydrated starter in a clean jar.
2. Add warm water
   Add 24g (2 tbsp) warm water (80–90°F / 26–32°C).
   Stir well and let sit 15–20 minutes to soften.
3. First feeding
   Add:
   
• 24g water
• 24g flour (bread or all-purpose)
  Stir until smooth, cover loosely, and let sit 12–24 hours at room temperature.
  
4. Second feeding
   Discard half the mixture.
   Add:
   
• 50g water
• 50g flour
  Stir and rest 12 hours.
  
5. Repeat feedings
   Continue discarding and feeding 1–2 times per day using a 1:1:1 ratio (starter:water:flour) until the starter reliably doubles in 4–6 hours.
   This typically takes 2–4 days.
6. Ready to bake!
   Once your starter doubles predictably, it’s fully revived and ready for use.
