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 👍
When I ordered 5kg of flour, I thought "what am I going to do with all this?" But once I'd made my first loaf, I know it'd come in very handy. Yet to expand my skills of making anything other than sourdough with it, but going to attempt wraps, pizza dough and bread and super excited about it, knowing how easy it is to work with!! :)
Beautiful premium quality products that make the highest of quality sourdough products. The instructions that you get are amazing and easy to follow along videos.
Definitely took me a couple loaves and a couple starters to perfect but the quality of the kit is wonderful.
Much sturdier than the ones we can get from Temu and cheap stores like that. Definitely worth the investment as it screams quality and I expect never needing to replace them. Extremely happy with my purchase.
It’s the best GF flour to work with and the taste is wonderful. I can’t wait to use it more.
All beautiful quality ingredients and came very quickly. Can't wait to get started!
I'm loving the wood pulp bannetons. So glad I took the plunge and purchased some, even if I bought the wrong size in my haste to process the order, totally my fault, not yours. Thanks for providing the tools to be able to take my sourdough to the next level!
I just pulled my very first sourdough bread out of the oven, and it looks and tastes amazing! Everything you need comes in the starter kit, the instructions and videos are super clear, and the starter flakes were active in less than 24 hours! Can’t wait to try more recipes :p
Thanks mate!
These flakes are outstanding and so easy to reactivate! Fed them as directed and baking my first GF sourdough loaf within a couple of days. It turned out great and the starter is nice and active. I was putting off the process of making GF sourdough due to the time and effort in making starter from scratch, but using the Sourdough Mate GF starter flakes made the whole process incredibly easy and foolproof. Delighted with the end results and the support offered online with recipes and advice. Would highly recommend this product!
With arthritic hands and the daunting task of cutting hard shell soft inside dark rye sourdough, I thought I might have to give up. Thanks to the sourdough mate knife it is so much easier. Thank you.
I’ve had a positive experience shopping at Sourdough Mate. I purchased a bread mat which has worked well. It was well priced and shipped quickly to me.
Got this for my friend who just started making sourdough and she LOVED IT. Particularly loved that the cloth bag is cotton because it's actually so hard to find one that's not polyester! All essentials in this pack make it so easy to start your sourdough journey.
Fantastic, my starter was ready to use within a few days and was noticeably stronger structurally. Helps give it a really nice tangy aroma too. Definitely recommend using this if you want a no fuss starter ready to go quickly.
I adore my new Dutch oven! It’s made such a difference to my bread baking, fits perfectly in my oven, and looks fantastic. Definitely recommend!
Purchased GF flour and starter flakes easy to use instructions and activated starter soon after to bake fabulous GF bread. My daughter diagnosed with Coeliac Disease some 30 years ago says its the best bread she has ever tasted.
