Sourdough Starter Kit - Organic WHEAT (Dehydrated 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 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 dehydrated wheat sourdough starter that has been allowed 48 hrs fermentation or until it has fully ripened. We spread a thin layer of live mature starters on sheets of baking paper, and slowly dry them in a food dehydrator until all water evaporates. The crisps are then crushed in a mortar, followed by grinding in a burr grinder to achieve the final powder form. We then weigh and distribute 20 grams into the final packaging. Once rehydrated, it should be ready to use within 48-72hrs.

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.
