The golden one in the family
Our Semolina Sourdough Starter is part of the Bear Starter family, raised on golden durum semolina. Durum is the wheat used for pasta, and it gives bread a beautiful golden colour, a firm, chewy bite and a subtle nutty sweetness.
If you love crackling crusts, chewy pizza bases or Italian-style bread, this is your starter.
Best for: pizza dough, focaccia, Italian-style loaves and golden, crusty bread.
What's included
10 g of dehydrated sourdough starter, made with organic durum semolina
Printed and digital step-by-step instructions
How it works
Rehydrate: mix the dried starter with a little flour and water.
Feed: feed it once a day until it's bubbly and doubling, usually in about a week.
Bake and keep it going: save a little after each bake and keep feeding it. It's not a one-time use. With regular care, your starter will last for years.
Why bakers love it
Golden crumb with a gentle, nutty flavour
Strong and steady fermentation
Shelf-stable until you're ready to bake
Please note: this starter contains wheat (gluten) and isn't suitable for anyone with celiac disease or a wheat allergy.
