I preheated my oven to 350 and it was in there for maybe 5 minutes. It's crusty at the edges but normal in the center. Did I kill it? 🫠

Mix 70 g starter with 100 g of water and 100g of flour.
Put in oven to proof
Turn on oven like a dumb

Rip your starter.

Many people are surprised to find the starter come back from this. If there are *any* wet or moist bits, try and feed it.

It was only 5 minutes, and you say it’s normal in the center… I’d say it’s fine.

I can send you mine it’s dehydrated. For free let me know.

Started can be dehydrated for storage. Definitely worth trying to feed a bit from the middle. It will cost you very little, and might just resurrect it. Good luck!

I feel you pain, except yours will probably be okay if it wasjust a few minutes. I just did that too, it was preheated to almost 500⁰ and turned into a brown loaf 🙁

I did this last week. Very sad day. Mine was baked like bread by the time I noticed. Luckily I have 2-3 jars of starter in the fridge at all times.

Why are we putting starter in oven at all!!?? I use mine straight from the fridge and it works absolutely fine.

I’m starting to feel like sourdough starter procedure should be just like firearm safety. Never point your weapon at anyone unless you intend to shoot them. And never place sourdough in an oven in less you intend to bake it.

You should be able to just scoop the intact starter out and feed it. I did that once too and it actually seems like it bounced back stronger, I guess the heat killed the weaker ones. I’d do it all the time honestly if I wasn’t worried about killing all of them.
