This bread knife looks beautiful and is razor sharp with some flexibility. It is the perfect bread knife.
I admit that it was a bit of an impulse purchase for me. I recall reading that it was the recommended bread knife on one of those foodie websites (may have been Epicure or Saveur or something). Anyway, it was a purchase that I am extremely glad to have made. Worth every penny!
I mainly ordered these gloves because I make sourdough and with the mittens I had it would get really hot. These gloves are lovely. The sizing is lightly small, so I would size up if you're in doubt.
The outside of the gloves does get quite warm, so you have to be careful when taking them off. But otherwise they are lovely to work with!
Sourdough is certainly something to master! I received my GF kit a week ago and immediately activated my starter flakes and started to feed. Made my first loaf a few days later but it was a flop literally. I asked the SD mate support group and received instant help to better support my starter and managed to get perfect growth. My dough proved amazingly, cooked beautifully in my 20yr old Dutch oven but unfortunately stuck to the bottom! I am about to try my third batch with all the lessons learnt and am excited to continue learning on this sourdough journey. The instructions and videos on the SD mate site are excellent and the support from the FB support group is spot on!
I ordered a lame for a Christmas gift and it was delivered in less than a week. My wife loves it as she makes sourdough 2-3 times a week. Her last loaf was her best effort yet and she said it was all due to her new lame!
The most beautiful mugs I have in my home. Absolutely LOVE these. Feel great, solid weight, great design and superb look. Wish I could have the complete set!!
Had a great time giving gf sourdough a go with my new kit. Worked out pretty well for a first shot (although I didn’t add enough salt - noted for next time). Looking forward to all the creative play and taste combinations to follow!
I purchased this kit for a family member for Christmas so unfortunately it hasn’t been tested yet but all the items in the box look great quality.
I purchased an extra couple of items to add to the kit and after a small amount of confusion ( definitely only on my part ) and
My daughter and I made our first GF loaf yesterday and it was devoured in one sitting.
Delicious!
The kit is very high quality and the instructions so easy to follow.
I followed the instructions but ended up with a lump. Not even like the pictures show. I added a tiny bit more water and it went to mush. Trying to get it back to what it should have looked like in the first place but not having much luck. Will keep trying :) Great product though. Found the two packets had different amounts in them so that could have been a factor too.
The banneton works really nicely, dough proves and rises really well and seems to have more body and a nicer texture too.
I opted for the smooth finish to avoid the imprint and texture of the cane bannetons i have been using and am very pleased with the result !
A lovely loaf, and much less ''mucking around', it seemed to me.
i will increase the weight and volume of the dough mix to fully utilise the dimensions of the banneton and so far am very happy with it and the result of my first 'trial' loaves.
I expect to purchase another wood pulp banneton when i have become more familiar with using it.
I think the result is superior to cane bannetons and i am very pleased with it.
excellent. Thank you .
And now I can. Sourdough Mate is a game changer. My bread is beautiful. It tastes great, the baguettes are so tasty. As a ex chef, gluten free bread had broken me. I tried so many of them - nothing worked. Gluey lumps of blech!
I have messed up one batch - i used a pullman tin - wet and awful, totally my error - the baguettes from the same dough were perfect, so next time I will levain in the baneton and try again! My starter is so easy to keep alive- nice and liquid feeds every so often, and it is happy.
Going to try crumpets this weekend.
So happy to have bread that tastes and feels so good - thanks Sour Dough mate!
These German-made wood pulp bannetons are far superior to the far more widely available Vietnamese and Chinese rattan bannetons, which are flimsy and held together by staples. I had to retire my first German wood pulp banneton after 10+ years of use because it was attacked by rats when I forgot about it airing outside and left it out all night.
After looking at the rattan bannetons at Kitchen Warehouse, which are about $10 cheaper than the all-up cost (ie, including shipping) of these Sourdough Mate wood pulp ones, I decided it was FAR better value to go for the latter. It came very well packaged, promptly delivered, and is the same as my previous now departed first banneton. These babies do a fantastic job, last many years and are really a no-brainer. Don't hesitate.
I initially bought the GF starter pack, and have continued to purchase the different bread flours to make loaf after loaf of delicious sourdough!
I’ve always wanted wood pulp Bannetons and the Bannetons I purchased are wonderful! I purchased 6 of them and then purchased a couple more for a friends birthday gift. My sourdough is so much easier to score! Quick postage also. Very happy customer.
Second pair I have bought…great product…great communications , fast delivery.A+
I have been gluten free for 20’ish years and always thought baking gluten free bread would be too difficult. The gluten free kit from Wild Sourdough has proven me wrong. I’m loving the sourdough I’m baking now and won’t go back to supermarket gluten free loaves.
I love this wisk. It's sturdy to handle dough,with a beautiful wooden handle. Feels solid enough to last a long time. Would recommend 👍
