Can't wait to try this. It came highly recommended from a great bread maker.

I bought this to add to fresh milled flour (FMF). It seems to add flavor

I make bread out of fresh milled flour and adding this dough conditioner really helps with a softer crumb.

You can't establish your own permanent starter from this, it's for making individual loaves. This is not a dehydrated sourdough starter, it's granulated sugar, active dry yeast, and granules of lactic acid bacteria cultures. This is an approximation of sourdough, but there's no flavor complexity compared to a healthy real starter made loaf. There's a huge diversity of microbes in a real starter that you will not get from thisIf you did buy this, at the very least it gives you a head start on creating your own starter by introducing yeast and bacteria, but definitely don't buy if you want a permanent starter to work with. I feel like this is labeled very deceptively

Love this product for my breadmaking. Superior to most out there!

Great product

I add a bit of this to all my breads now. I use about half of what they recommend, as the recipe doesn't call for it at all, it's just a little extra to give a softer crumb.It especially makes a difference in wheat bread.Thumbs up!
