JOSEF MARC Active Dry Sourdough Starter 100Gram Packet - Gently Dried Sourdough, 100% Natural Ingredients

It works well. Just followed the measurements printed.

Instruction manual was missing....

I haven't yet made proper sourdough bread yet with this. But I used it to make pita bread and taste and texture was awesome. I also used deep fry the dough to use it as replacement of bhature and it was great 👍.

The whole point of buying sourdough starter is to have a natural wild starter fermentation but if an extra ingredient like a dry active yeast is added to it what’s the point in buying this sourdough starter at all, might as well have bought a commercially available instant dry yeast alone instead of buying this one. It affects the flavour profile of baked bread. Disappointing and it’s not returnable.

It was the first time buying a dehydrated starter having always either doing my own or getting from friends. I was a bit disappointed that there were no instructions with the pack on rehydration of the contents. Had to play by ear. Also, the contents say "active yeast" so does that mean there was added yeast, or only the natural yeast of the starter?

I'm a home baker. I have made bread quite a few times but this was my first time baking a sourdough bread. Trust me this starter is a wonder. The first pic is of the kneaded dough, second pic is of risen dough, third the baked loaf, and forth pic is of the sliced bread. I can't ask for more from a sourdough starter. It is what I expected and more, much more.
