Welcome to The Sourdough Cult.
Our sourdough baking kit is made for anyone ready to properly get into sourdough. Inside you’ll find our nearly 100-year-old live sourdough starter, the baking tools you’ll actually use, and plenty of guidance to take you from curious beginner to someone who suddenly has very strong opinions about dough temperature.
At the heart of the kit is our live sourdough starter, passed down through generations of bakers in Cheshire. Alive, active and ready to settle into its new home, it comes with two feeds of premium bread flour to help get it bubbling after its journey.
Then there are the essentials.
No pointless gadgets. No drawer-filler. Just useful sourdough baking tools for feeding your starter, mixing dough, checking temperature, timing your bake and making those first few loaves that little bit easier.
Inside your sourdough starter kit
• Nearly 100-year-old live sourdough starter in a reusable food-safe jar with handy rise tracker

Every kit is packed in small batches and designed to feel equal parts artisan bakery and secret society.
Everything a beginner needs to start sourdough
Starting sourdough can feel a little overwhelming. Starter ratios, feeding schedules, fermentation, dough temperature, stretch and folds...
This kit takes away a lot of that guesswork.
You’ve got an established live starter, the essential tools and beginner-friendly guidance to help you through the process. All you need to add is flour, water, salt and an increasingly unhealthy interest in fermentation.
Whether you’re making your first ever loaf or returning to bread making after a break, it’s an easy way to start baking homemade sourdough without having to create a starter from scratch.
Looking for a sourdough gift?
The Essentials Kit makes a brilliant baking gift for beginners, foodies, bread lovers and keen home cooks.
With the starter, baking tools and guidance all included, it’s particularly good for someone who has been talking about starting sourdough but still hasn’t actually done it.
Great for:
• Beginner sourdough bakers
• Foodies and bread lovers
• Keen home bakers and cooks
• Anyone looking for a new baking hobby
• Birthday gifts
• Christmas presents
• Gifts for Mum, Dad, partners or friends
• Housewarming gifts for people who love their kitchen
• Anyone about to develop a suspiciously strong attachment to a jar of fermented flour
Made for gifting
Every Essentials Kit arrives in a premium black magnetic gift box with black tissue paper, so it’s ready to give straight away.
Dark, slightly mysterious and considerably nicer than handing someone a random jar of beige goo.
As this is a live sourdough starter, it will need to be fed or refrigerated within seven days of dispatch. If you’re sending the kit as a gift, simply let us know your preferred delivery date in the personalisation box.
Feed your starter. Bake beautiful bread. Convert others.
