Dehydrated sourdough starter
A couple of weeks ago friends of ours who live on a sailboat regretted that they could not get my wife's sourdough starter that is about 25 years old. Sending it liquid was a non-starter. So, the last time my wife made bread, she gave me about a cup to test if I could dehydrate it then reconstitute it. I dehydrated it and the first attempt to revive it failed. So, after a little online research, the second effort was a success.
I was about to toss it when I figured I might as well make some bread with it. I'd made no-knead bread for fun in the past and it didn't have much flavor so why not try it with sourdough starter. I did and it came out much more flavorful but also much larger. I should have cut it in half.
The starter and the bread:
