The Flour + Water Baking journey commenced in 2017 when I delved into the art of bread baking, establishing my own rye starter from scratch. Within a mere seven days, I successfully crafted a near-perfect sourdough, sparking a newfound passion for exploring diverse techniques and recipes. Rooted in my Polish heritage, bread baking holds profound cultural and culinary significance, inspiring my commitment to this traditional craft.

Fast forward a few years, and I now operate this boutique online store offering essential tools for baking artisan-style sourdough, with a mission to help everyone craft their own bread.

Throughout the years, my starters have developed distinctive flavors, and feeding them is proudly integrated into my daily routine. The rye starter traces its roots back to an old Polish starter passed down through my family, while the wheat starter was established here in Sydney using premium organic wheat flours.

Both live and dehydrated versions are available to purchase, alongside maintenance instructions and recipes.

Regularly nourished with the finest Australian-produced flours, these starters remain active and primed to ferment dough, ultimately yielding another delectable sourdough bread. Anticipate the unique character imparted by wild yeast!
