Description+

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.

Beautiful sourdough flavour

I got the dehydrated sourdough starter. It was a slow start due to the cold weather but its now bubbly snd happy as. The flavour is really lovely. Even though I'm a total newby, the bread is really delicious to eat, even if I havent nailed it.

Thank you for leaving a review for our dry sourdough starter. We're so happy to hear that despite the slow start, it's now bubbly and producing a lovely sourdough flavor. We're glad you're enjoying your bread, and don't worry, practice makes perfect! Happy baking! ‍

Took a lot longer than advertised to activate despite following instructions to the tee. Baking 1st loaf after 10 days looking okay but not super active.

Having said this response time and the offer of support after this review was excellent. Will continue to support this brand

Sourdough Starter & Mason Jar

The mason jar with the temperature sticker is very handy (10/10), however I have had some trouble with getting the sourdough starter going (despite the helpful instructions on the website!)
I sent a few questions through online to customer services and received a super prompt response from Liz, with some really helpful tips - especially around consistent temperature.
So my starter now has signs of life, thanks to a hot water bottle, a couple of tea towels and an insulated Woolies bag as a stop gap ... but not yet growing much, so I think I'm going to need the Electric Fermenting Heat Box as Liz suggested, too .....

Very grateful for the help, thank you!

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Dry Sourdough Starter. We're glad to hear that you found the mason jar and temperature sticker to be helpful. We apologize for the trouble you had with getting the starter going, but we're happy that Liz was able to provide you with some helpful tips. We understand that consistent temperature is key for a successful starter, and we're glad to hear that you've found a solution with the hot water bottle and tea towels. We highly recommend the Electric Fermenting Heat Box as suggested, as it will definitely help with the growth of your starter. We're happy to hear that you're grateful for the help, and we're always here to assist with any further questions you may have. Happy baking!
