Hot TIP! Dehydrate Your Starter for Extra Security
Once you've achieved a strong and healthy sourdough starter, consider dehydrating a portion for backup.
Dehydrated starters are like sourdough insurance, ensuring you always have a backup in case of unforeseen circumstances. To dehydrate, spread a thin layer of your active starter on parchment paper and let it air dry. Once dry, break it into flakes and store in an airtight container. It can be reactivated with water and flour whenever needed.
