I dry a portion of my starters as an insurance policy. In a worst case scenario I will always have this bit to come back to.
I think a dehydrator would probably work better, but all I have is my oven and its proof setting.
I lay a thin layer of starter on parchment paper, then just leave it in the oven for a few hours. When its mostly dry and cracking, I transfer it to a wire rack, then allow it to air dry for another 2 days. After that I run it through my blender to break the sheet down to crumbled bits.
It isnt the most efficient, but it works 😂
With the starter dried, I can keep it forever without any feedings.
