Why the Classic Kit is a great place to start
The Classic Kit is designed around high-protein organic white flour, making it a great starting point for learning the fundamentals of sourdough.
White flour dough is generally easier to mix, handle and shape, giving you a more forgiving dough while you learn how fermentation, hydration and dough strength work together.
Start with the fundamentals, build your confidence, then explore more advanced sourdough techniques as your skills develop.
Looking for more flavour, more variety and even more savings? Our Deluxe Kit + Oven includes 1kg of certified organic stoneground wholemeal flour, plus additional premium tools and useful accessories to make your sourdough journey even more enjoyable.

We’d love to help! Just reach out to us through our website chat.
I'm loving my new bread making skills! Wish i bought this kit years ago. It's so easy to make impressive bread every time (i'm 4 loaves in and counting).
I’m so happy with my purchase! I’ve felt so well supported and had everything I needed to make my first sourdough.
Everything about this starter kit impressed me from the moment it arrived. The selection of items is spot on, and the instructions with videos are clear and easy to follow.
What really set this apart was the live chat support: quick, friendly, and genuinely helpful exactly when I needed it.
The real proof? My very first loaf was a huge success — I couldn’t have been more proud! I’m already working on my second, and I can honestly say this kit gave me the confidence and tools to make sourdough baking a regular part of my life.
Highly recommend to anyone curious about sourdough. You won’t regret it!
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!
It’s been great discovering Sour Dough Mate.
The products are quality, fast delivery and no fuss.
The videos are a pleasure to watch and have simple instructions that have supported me to finally being successful at making sour dough bread.
Thank you.
I recently purchased a starter kit because I was sick of paying almost $10 for a loaf of average sourdough from my local bakery. After following the simple instructions my starter was ready to use within 24 hours. The websites step-by-step guide on how to bake a basic loaf of sourdough has helped me make over 10 gorgeous loaves in the last week and a half. I haven’t had one failure or misstep and have basically made my money back! All while enjoying beautiful bread with my friends and family.
I started the process of rehydrating the flakes last week & baked my first sourdough loaf on the weekend. Wow! The whole process was easy, enjoyable & the bread turned out wonderful. The instructions & videos on the website were so helpful.
So I have been baking (experimenting) sourdough for a few months, using a pot instead of an oven, finally I purchased a complete kit with oven bundle, I have to say it’s one of my best investment ever. The flavour and texture of the sourdough it’s SOOOO good
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
My kit arrived super fast and I was very happy with the entire kit. The first loaf turned out way better than I was expecting and tasted delicious. A printed version of the instructions/ recipe would have been helpful though the videos have been a saviour to learn from.
Having not made sourdough before, the kit had everything we needed and the first loaf turned out great! The second one is in progress 😜🤞
This is the first loaf of bread I have ever made in my life! I purchased the complete sourdough kit which was excellent value for money and followed the detailed instructions provided. My first loaf was very good and yummy! I have just made my second loaf and it is even better again. Thank you Sourdough Mate!
I am a complete novice in the kitchen but I have a keen interest to begin baking wholesome home made food for my family. I found the instructions very easy to follow and if I didn’t quite understand the video instructions, I referred to the written blurbs below each one and they clarified any issues I had. I followed the recipe to the key and honestly, it’s the best sourdough I’ve ever tasted.
Instructions were clear and first lost came out perfect. Bought the starter pack after failing for many weeks to create my own starter. Was worried starter flakes would fail but did not have any problems.
I burn water so my forte into bread making was met with many a raised eyebrow. Sourdough kit received, all as listed, I got to work. The starter bubbled away perfectly, the dough was stretched and folded as per the excellent website videos! And within 24 hours.... Walah!!! Sourdough bread! Ok not perfect but the family were impressed. Ive just baked my third loaf and it's perfect. If I can do this, you can too. I highly recommend!
This kit helped me get up and running with making my own sourdough and didn't include a bunch of items I didn't need. Everything is good quality and the online resources are very helpful. Fast delivery.
Great starter kit but I would also recommend getting the mixing bowl with lid
I’ve tried to get into sourdough before but never followed through and never gotten to the actual making a loaf part. With sourdough mate I got there after just a day haha. Fab instructions and process, all the equipment I needed, and so I felt ready and empowered, as cheesy as that sounds.
All beautiful quality ingredients and came very quickly. Can't wait to get started!
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.
Love love love. The best start to my sourdough making
