The easiest way to make sourdough is by using a quality starter to begin with. This kit comes with starter from Companion Bakery in Tasmania, a sourdough-only bakery (no baker's yeast on site).
As well as starter, we include 1kg ORGANIC Callington Mill wholegrain SPELT flour, milled in the wind mill across the road from Companion Bakery and a German made banneton which many bakers currently consider to be the best in the world.
Full, easy to read instructions are provided, written by the baker, Graham Prichard. Graham has been baking sourdough since the 1980's and is keen to pass on the secrets of sourdough. He believes that home bakers are able to bake bread that is as good or better than commercial bakeries.
