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.

Customer Reviews
Bought this for my hubby for his bday. The kit is phenomenal alongside the great tutorials. We have been enjoying the bread now for weeks! No looking back!
You Knead Sourdough gives lots of support and information on their website and also videos for every step
Absolutely love my starter kit and when I didn’t have luck the first time with my starter they kindly sent another starter with load of information to follow.
Purchased as a spur of the moment thing, I've been intrigued by them for awhile. Followed the steps laid out in the guide I'm at about 14 days now and she's an active usable starter. Her flavour still needs to mature, but she's great for sweet bread inclusions. So I save her for that and use my older more mature cougar of a starter for savoury loaves.
If you are a newbie starting out give it a whirl. It's fun and you really can't go to far wrong.
Awesomeness in dehydrated form.
I had a question regarding how to make a rye sourdough loaf and the response from you knead sourdough"" assisted me to be able to successfully bake a loaf. Previously I had been using all rye flour and they explained to use part rye and part white flour. Each time I have contact ed them they have responded excellent customer service thanlyou
