Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know
If you usually use Brewer's Yeast and want to switch to Chenabura Sourdough Starter, you will need to triple the doses. For example, if your recipe calls for 15 g of Brewer's Yeast, you will need to use 45 g of Chenabura Sourdough Starter.
Rising takes 2 hours if you keep it at a temperature between 20-30°C, but if you want a longer fermentation, we recommend placing it in the refrigerator.
Tip: Lower temperatures = slower rising but richer flavour.
For bread or desserts: 1 kg of flour = 100 g of Chenabura Sourdough Starter. For pizza: 1 kg of flour = 30 g of Chenabura Sourdough Starter.
Yes! Our dried sourdough starter is ready to use. It does not need refreshing, just add it directly to the flour as you would with traditional yeast.
Once opened, we recommend storing it in a cool, dry place, tightly closed, within 3 weeks.
Tip: If you know you won't use it right away, divide it into portions and store them separately.
Our Sourdough Starter is 100% natural, obtained from the fermentation of flour and water, without chemical additives. The drying process keeps all beneficial properties intact.
The product has undergone a change in labelling due to new regulations. The old packaging listed it as “yeast, enzymes”, which is no longer permitted. If you have used it before and had no allergy problems, you can continue to use it because it is the same type of product; the formulation has not changed.
Important: If you are intolerant to fresh Brewer's Yeast, our starter contains dried Brewer's Yeast in small quantities.
