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.
Basic Sourdough Starter Kit
Came with everything I needed to get started! Going through a rough patch with some recent medical complications and baking sourdough has motivated me to keep positive! Thank you
This is a terrific kit to get started. Very quality tools and I’m really happy with this.
Bought this for a birthday present and it was beyond expectations! Great quality!
Love the bread knife. That was definitely worth adding onto the order too!
Customer service was brilliant and responsive
Starter kit arrived within the first week
Loved the sustainable wrapping and instructions
However as a newbie i found it very frustrating to have to refer to my tablet for each instruction
I did try to print the main page but it cane back blank. While my starter is working brilliantly, I haven’t been able to get a loaf of bread but i will get there
I found the instructions helpful 😊 was easy enough.
Impressed with the quality of your products! Will make a great present for new novice home baker.
I purchased the sourdough mate starter kit after attempting (and failing miserably) to do it myself. Seriously, this was the best decision I have ever made. Each loaf I've made with the kit so far has been perfect! I have to make at least 2 loaves at a time because the kids take care of one full loaf straight out of the oven.
