Sourdough Starter Kit - Organic WHEAT (Live Wild Yeast)

Wheat Sourdough Starter Kit
Wild Yeast with Natural Lactic Acid Bacteria 
comes with detailed instructions and a bread recipe

Product Description:

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!).

This kit contains a live organic wheat sourdough starter that has been allowed 24-48 hrs fermentation (or until it has ripened) in our bulk container, and then has been transferred into a clean zip-lock bag, with all the air removed/pressed.

Works best for lighter-type sourdough (like Vienna style), pizza or focaccia, to give that soft and fluffy, creamy dough that is easy to handle. It is our favourite for any pastry dough too, like cinnamon rolls or French croissants. Add up to 15-20% in your recipe, or prepare a leaven first for extra activity (highly recommended). It often doubles or triples its volume within hours after feeding. Ready to use within 24-48 hrs after first feeding.

This starter is a genuine product 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.
