HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. Mostly waiting.
1. Wake up the starter
Feed it flour and water for 3 to 5 days and watch it bubble. Step-by-step activation instructions come in the box.
2. Mix, fold, rest
Flour, water, salt and a spoonful of starter. A few minutes of hands-on work, then time does the rest.
3. Bake and slice
Into a hot oven it goes. Crackly crust, tangy crumb and a kitchen that smells like a bakery.
Starter, flour and recipe in one box.

FAQ
Never baked sourdough? Read this.
Is sourdough hard to make?
Less than you'd think. The starter does the heavy lifting. Your part is a few minutes of mixing and folding, then waiting.
What if I forget to feed my starter?
Starters are hardier than most people think. Yours comes with care instructions, including how to keep it between bakes and bring it back to life.
Do I need special equipment?
A bowl, a kitchen scale and an oven get you started. A Dutch oven helps you get a crisper crust, and our kits add the tools that make it easier.
How long until my first loaf?
The starter wakes up in 3 to 5 days of feeding. After that, plan for about a day per loaf, most of it hands-off while the dough does its thing.
What does shipping cost?
Free on orders $150+ in the continental US. Orders from $70 to $149.99 ship for a flat $9.99. Under $70, you pay the carrier rate at checkout.
What if my first loaf isn't perfect?
It will still taste great. Every kit includes our sourdough bread recipe, and each bake teaches you something.
Your kitchen is about to smell incredible.
Start with the kit, wake the starter over 3 to 5 days, and your first loaf is about a week away.
