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.

Got the kit for Mother’s Day and have really enjoyed the journey of getting the starter growing and baking our first loaf. We had a crusty loaf for breakfast this morning.

I purchased the sour dough starter. It was so easy to follow the instructions and get my starter going. I finally had it at the point when I could bake my first loaf in the morning. I awoke the next day to find my dog had got my starter and eaten the lot! So great product, super easy and dog approved.
We are so glad to hear that you found our Dry Sourdough Starter easy to use and that it worked well for you. We apologise for the unexpected mishap with your dog, but we're glad to know that even your furry friend approves of our product! Thank you for your feedback and we hope you continue to enjoy baking with our sourdough starter, *pro tip -you can use your sourdough discard to create a new starter. How cool is that! Happy baking!
