This starter means you can get straight on your Sourdough baking journey, without the faff of creating your own starter dough. It’s NOT dehydrated. It’s ready to go. Instructions for how to care for your starter dough are included. The recipes included are easy to follow; they are the recipes we use when we teach bread making in our workshops
Ingredients
Organic Shipton Mill flour
Water
Naturally occurring yeast
Contains GLUTEN/WHEAT
Approx 85g weight of Sourdough Starter - remember its not the quantity that is important but the yeast content!
Please refrigerate on receipt.
The starter contains live active natural yeast. It will bubble and release gas so jars are partially filled to allow for bubbly expansion space during travel.
You may have heard about discarding sourdough starter. I don’t advocate discard, hence why my recipes and guidance don’t include any reference to it. There’s no need to discard and besides it wastes flour and starter dough. I particularly conscious about food waste.
Please note we have a Best Before End date 3 weeks from dispatch; we advise this product is made up before the BBE to ensure the yeast remain active. If you are buying this item as a present please request a delayed dispatch date a few days before you intend to give the item.
