The Kit
Every essential tool and ingredient to start baking sourdough!
Active Sourdough Starter | Glass Starter Jar | Silicone Spatula | Starter Flour Blend | Basic Bread Flour Blend (enough for one loaf) | Round Banneton with Liner | Digital Scale | Bench Knife | Scoring Lame
Note: Although sourdough breads are best when baked in a Dutch oven, it is not necessary. We will show you how to bake your bread on traditional sheet pans as well. This 5qt option from Amazon is a good start if you wish to use a Dutch oven.
Bonus: Upon completion of the program, you will be added to our complimentary WhatsApp sourdough community of previous course attendees. This platform allows you to share your baking adventures and receive support from other sourdough enthusiasts.
