Our most important ingredient - the 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 recipe (provided with the Complete Sourdough Starter Kit) or on the recipe section of the site to begin your very own sourdough starter.
No need to wait multiple weeks for a strong starter to develop, using these dried sourdough starter flakes will have your starter strong and ready to make your first loaf of artisan sourdough bread in as little as 2 days!
*Note* - jar not included, this is the dried flakes packet only. We have a jar that can be purchased separately here.
Starter flakes weight: approx 10g

Customer Reviews
Great kit so easy to create the starter absolute vibes all round
I bought the toolbox for Xmas for my 17 year old son. He has been trying for a while to perfect bread making, but he followed your tutorials and used all the tools from the kit and his sourdough came out perfect! I’m thrilled I found him such a great gift and even more happy about the non-stop fresh bread! Highly recommend this for beginners - you’ll be a pro in no time.
Very quick response to my issues with being a newbie sour dough cook.
Most helpful with easy to follow advice.
I was never sent an order confirmation and had to chase this multiple times, once I received it I clarified that I was overcharged shipping ($18) which was quoted at $10 flat rate. I have sent multiple follow up emails with no response as yet.
Further to the above, I keep getting emails asking me to review my experience which I haven’t particularly been interested in doing as I haven’t had a positive one.
Maybe this will assist in receiving the refund for shipping, but due to the lack of response so far, I’m not getting my hopes up.
There are other companies that offer a sourdough starter kit with free shipping and faster dispatch time, give them a go instead.
I bought the sourdough flakes and the guides have been so useful in making so many delicious things! I highly recommend their crumpet recipe to use up your discard
