Everything you need to bake your first sourdough loaf, in one box. No guessing what to buy, and no experience needed.
Good to know: you'll also need a kitchen scale (strongly recommended), flour, water and a jar. Your starter takes about a week to wake up before your first bake, and our step-by-step kit guide walks you through every day of it.
What's in the kit
Classic White Sourdough Starter (10 g): our 150-year-old Bear Starter, made with organic flour and dried for shipping. It isn't a one-time use: keep feeding it and it'll keep baking for years.
Round rattan banneton with linen liner: the basket your shaped dough rises in
Two dough scrapers: one curved for the bowl, one square for the counter
UFO lame for scoring, with blades packed separately in a small box
What you'll need at home
A kitchen scale (strongly recommended): sourdough is measured in grams, and weighing makes everything easier
Flour and water, for feeding your starter and baking
A clean glass jar (about 500 ml or larger) for your starter
Rice flour for dusting your banneton (regular flour works in a pinch)
A large mixing bowl and parchment paper
A Dutch oven or heavy lidded pot (recommended): it gives you the best crust and rise
A step-by-step guide comes with it
Our free kit guide walks you through it all: waking up your starter, setting up each tool, and baking your first loaf. No experience needed. Take it one step at a time, and if you get stuck, we're only an email away.
