WHEAT STARTER:

Born in Australia in 2017, this live starter culture has been maintained with the best quality organic unbleached wheat (baker's) flour from Wholegrain Milling. It has a creamy texture and an appealing creamy white colour, and a very distinct smell of vinegar, nail polish, or paint (all perfectly natural flavours in a wheat starter!).

RYE STARTER:

Re-born in Australia in 2014, and originating from Poland, this starter culture has been maintained with the best quality organic whole rye flour from Wholegrain Milling. It has a peanut butter texture, an appealing light brown colour, and a very distinct fruity flavour profile.

Wheat Starter Rye Starter
Best for: light style sourdough; focaccia; pizza; pastry dough classic full flavour sourdough; baguettes; whole wheat/whole grain bread
Flavour profile: strong soury notes; vinegar; sour cream; nail polish remover; paint ripe grapes, green apple, sweet vinegar, yeasty
Texture: runny to thick paste (depending on water content), creamy, similar to custard, soft and fluffy after feeding thick paste, similar to peanut butter, airy
Age: 7 years (est. 2017) 12 years (est. 2012)

Add up to 15-20% directly in your recipe, or prepare a leaven first for extra activity (recommended). Our robust starters often double or triple their volume within hours after feeding. Ready to use within 24-48 hrs after first feeding.

These starters are genuine products that we use ourselves! The kit comes with printed maintenance instructions and our favourite step-by-step sourdough bread recipe. You can pin them on your fridge for easy access.

For extra support, we recommend browsing online and reading a few articles on sourdough baking. Watch Youtube videos on kneading, stretching, folding, and shaping techniques. Read a good book, like Tartine Bread by Chad Robertson, or Bread by Jeffrey Hamelman.

  • Sachet with 50g live starter, or 20g dehydrated starter (option)
