Essential Sourdough Starter Kit

Start baking real sourdough at home with the essential ingredients and tools, without committing to a full equipment set. Choose either our genuine live wheat sourdough starter or our dehydrated wheat heritage starter. The live option is a fresh, living culture containing active wild yeast and beneficial bacteria. The dehydrated option is the same 150-year-old culture in a shelf-stable form, ideal for gifting or baking later. What’s included Your choice of live or dehydrated wheat sourdough starter 1kg organic premium white bakers flour Your choice of a large round or oval rattan banneton with linen liner Traditional dough lame for scoring Flexible dough scraper Clear starter activation and beginner sourdough instructions Made for first-time bakers This kit gives you the specialist essentials needed to feed your starter, ferment and shape your dough, and score your first loaf. You can use an ordinary mixing bowl, kitchen scales and a spoon or spatula from home. Our live starter arrives as a fresh, active culture in food-grade transport packaging. Fermentation activity can vary with temperature, so feed it according to the included instructions and bake once it is bubbling and has reached peak rise. Please note: The glass jar shown represents the live, bubbling culture and is not included. Your live starter is supplied in food-grade transport packaging because an actively fermenting starter cannot be safely shipped in sealed glass. No fuss, no fluff. Just the essentials for baking bloody good bread.
