What Is Sourdough?
Sourdough bread is slow-fermented bread that requires no commercial yeast in order to rise. Instead, it uses a sourdough ‘starter’ – a mixture of fermented flour and water that contains wild yeast and good bacteria – to rise. While sourdough bread is made from a live fermented culture, or a sourdough starter, it also includes three main ingredients: flour, water and salt.
There is a lot of discussion around whether sourdough bread is healthy and the simple answer is yes. Sourdough is a more natural alternative to normal bread, as it doesn’t contain any additives such as milk, oils or sweeteners. The naturally occurring acids and long fermentation make sourdough bread more digestible and easier for the body to absorb and it’s said to have a better effect on the blood sugar and insulin levels than regular supermarket bread.
A packet of dried sourdough starter flakes. This is what makes sourdough, sourdough! The sourdough starter contains the wild yeast that produces bread with distinct sourdough flavours. Simply follow the instructions in the e-book (link provided with the kit) or on the guide section of the website to begin your very own sourdough starter. As long as you keep feeding your starter it will live forever!
25cm long oval rattan banneton that you will proof your sourdough bread in. Rattan bannetons are extremely useful to the sourdough bread making process. It will let your dough breathe and will draw moisture from the surface of the dough, helping to give that extra crunch to your sourdough bread.
Special shaped whisk to help incorporate the flour, water, sourdough starter and salt. Much easier and faster than a spoon!
A lame (pronounced ‘Lahm’, a French word meaning blade) is a special tool that is used to score (cut) the dough before it goes into the oven so it can expand
Pretty straight forward! As sourdough is quite a wet dough this scraper comes in handy to make sure you can get all of your dough off the bench. Also makes shaping the dough a breeze
2kg pack of high protein bread flour. The wheat is grown and milled by South Australian farmers Flinders Ranges Premium Grain.
The environment in which Flinders Ranges Premium Grain grow their high-protein wheat lends itself to production of flour with any extremely high dough strength with great extensibility. Flinders Ranges Flour was bred to exhibit sponge and dough characteristics which is excellent for quality artisan style bakery products, laminated pastry products, (e.g. croissants), pasta, noodles and frozen dough.
I've aimed to get the best possible ingredients for sourdough bread making; we source bread flour from Flinders Ranges Premium Grain, a farm located in South Australia. The quality of FRPG’s flour has been recognised internationally for quality and consistency. I've personally been using their flour for a long time and am always delighted with the results. I'm sure you will be too! We also aim to provide high quality baking equipment - I expect good quality equipment when I make my sourdough, and I know you do too. All equipment is checked for quality before sending out.

Fail Proof Sourdough
I bought the sourdough starter kit for my wife after she had tried unsuccessfully to make sourdough several times. She was weary of trying again. The bread turned out wonderful, nice crispy crust and soft on the inside. Yum!!
Perfect way to spend time in lockdown
After too much Netflix during the 2020 Melbourne lockdown we were desperate to find ways to keep our kids entertained. We bought a starter kit from You Knead Sourdough and it was an absolute blast for our family and the sourdough was absolutely amazing!
