You don't need to know how to make a starter.
You need it to show up.
We feed it, you bake it. Active starter, delivered on your cadence, ready to work the moment it hits your kitchen.
We're onboarding a small number of kitchens first. No commitment to get on the list.
Batch #0412 — Delivery Day
Sourdough is easy to want and annoying to keep
Real sourdough means keeping something alive. Twice-a-day feeds. Weekend babysitting. A staff member whose actual job, some mornings, is "is the starter okay." Skip a feed during a busy stretch and you're not making bread that day — you're nursing a culture back from the dead.
Most kitchens that want sourdough don't lack the skill. They lack the bandwidth to keep a living thing on a leash 365 days a year.
We will work with you to integrate our starter into your dough recipe.
We keep it alive. You just bake.
Dealing Dough delivers active starter — mixed, fed, and timed to arrive at peak — on whatever schedule your kitchen runs on. Weekly, twice weekly, whatever your volume calls for. You tell us how much and how often. We handle the part that never sleeps.
- lb You order by the pound. 20lbs or 100lbs — priced the same way you price any other kitchen input.
- ✓ We build to peak, not to "fine." Every batch is mixed to be active on delivery day — not just alive.
- ↻ You pick the cadence. Once a week or twice — we build our schedule around your kitchen, not the other way around.
The math is stacked in your favor
Starter can cost as little as 35¢ worth of a pizza's crust. What you charge for "sourdough" on the menu is entirely your call — but the gap between that cost and your price is margin, not overhead.
How it works
Tell us your volume and cadence
How much starter, how often. Every account is set up around real numbers, not a fixed plan.
We build it fresh, timed to you
Each batch is mixed on a schedule that lands it at peak activity right when your delivery's due.
It shows up ready to work
Mix your dough same-day. No waiting on it to build strength, no guessing if it's alive.
What we promise — and what we don't
We promise it arrives on time, at the volume you ordered, active. What you do with it after that — bake it same-day, let it sit a bit — is your call, not ours.
We're not selling a recipe. We're selling one less thing on your prep list.
Already have a starter you don't want to lose?
If your kitchen's built its identity around a specific culture, we can take a sample and reproduce it — same character, same behavior — and put it on a delivery schedule so you never have to feed it yourself again. Mention it when you get on the list, and we'll follow up separately.
