IMPORTANT
Sourdough starter is a living entity; it needs regular feeding. Thus we recommend no more than 10 days elapse between when the sourdough starter you purchase leaves our facility, and when you give it its first feeding. Keep this in mind when choosing a delivery method; if you need help making the smartest shipping choice, please contact our customer service team.
For best results, please feed your fresh sourdough starter within 24 hours of receiving it. Care and feeding directions are included with your order, and are also available in our Guide to Sourdough»

Hey Bob, It sounds like you have a good active starter. Some recipes will call for more starter than the 4 ounce ratio will make. You can always increase the ratio to 8 ounces and that should give you enough for 2 or more loaves. We do have some other tips for getting a stronger flavor and a better rise. You can find some of those tips and more information on sourdough by visiting the Learn section of our website. You can also give our friendly baker's a call on our Baker's Hotline at 855-371-BAKE and we can help you out. Happy Baking! Amanda@KAF
