Frequently Asked Questions
I accidentally left my starter on the counter for 3 days. Is it ruined?
-

Not at all! Your starter is more resilient than you think. It might be a little sluggish, but with one or two feedings (or a rest in the fridge), it’ll spring back to life.
What’s the best way to pause my starter while I’m on vacation?
-
+
Simply seal the jar and tuck it into the fridge. It will happily wait for you while you’re away. When you get back, give it a feeding or two, and you’ll be ready to bake again.
Do I really need to use my starter every day?
-
+
Nope! Don’t feel pressured. Use it as often as it fits into your life. And when you do bake often, have fun trying discard recipes — from pancakes to crackers, there’s no waste in sourdough.
