How to get started
- Wake up the dried starter in the glass jar, following the instructions that come with it. This takes a few days of feeding.
- After each feeding, slide the time-tracking band to the level of the starter. Once it reliably doubles, it is ready to bake with.
- Mix, shape and proof your dough with the tools in the kit, score it with the blade and bake. The guide in the box takes you through each step.
