Sourdough Starter Kit – Ultimate (Oval Banneton)

Our most complete sourdough kit. Everything in the Beginner Kit, plus a Danish dough whisk for mixing and a traditional lame for that deep, bakery-style cut. What's in the kit Classic White Sourdough Starter (10 g): our 150-year-old Bear Starter, made with organic flour and dried for shipping. It isn't a one-time use: keep feeding it and it'll keep baking for years. Oval rattan banneton with linen liner: the basket your shaped dough rises in Two dough scrapers: one curved for the bowl, one square for the counter Danish dough whisk: cuts through thick, sticky dough without clumping (choose single or double loop) Two lames: a UFO lame for control and patterns, and a traditional lame for one bold cut and a proper "ear" Lame blades, packed separately in a small box What you'll need at home Flour and water, for feeding your starter and baking A clean jar for your starter A kitchen scale (strongly recommended): sourdough is much easier when you weigh A Dutch oven (recommended): it gives you the best crust and rise A step-by-step guide comes with it Our free kit guide walks you through it all: waking up your starter, setting up each tool, and baking your first loaf. No experience needed. Take it one step at a time, and if you get stuck, we're only an email away. Pick your options Whisk: single loop or double loop. Both mix sourdough well, so pick whichever you like the look of. Single Kit: one of everything above, including one starter Double Kit: two complete kits, including two starters. Great for gifting, or for baking alongside a friend. Please note: the starter contains wheat (gluten) and isn't suitable for anyone with celiac disease or a wheat allergy. Prefer a round loaf?
