Q: How many loaves does this make?

submitted by Barbie H - 16 days ago
  • A: It will depend on if you maintain the starter and don't use it all at once. Once activated and fed, it can be maintained indefinitely, providing enough starter to bake two or more loaves per session. The starter needs daily or weekly feeding, depending on if it is kept on the counter or in the refrigerator.

A little lost

I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if my starter is just weak but overall the flavor is good. I tried to bake and got small dense bread.

Great sourdough starter

Great sourdough starter—very active and easy to use. It became bubbly quickly and gave my bread a nice rise and classic tangy flavor. This is my very first time baking sourdough bread, and this starter made the whole process easy.

love

Tried Living Dough starter for the first time and made my very first loaf of sourdough. I was honestly nervous going in because sourdough has a reputation for being “advanced,” but this starter made the process feel approachable. The instructions were clear, the starter became active quickly, and I could actually see the fermentation happening, which helped me trust the process. The loaf had that classic tangy depth of flavor, a crisp crust, and a soft, airy crumb—way better than I expected for a first attempt. I appreciated that the starter felt alive and resilient, not finicky or fragile, which made the learning curve less intimidating. If you’re new to sourdough and want a real, authentic starter experience without feeling overwhelmed, this is a solid place to begin.
