The ancient one in the family
Our Spelt Sourdough Starter is part of the Bear Starter family, raised on spelt, an ancient grain with a mellow taste and a warm, nutty aroma. It brings depth and a soft, rustic feel to everyday loaves.
Spelt dough is a little softer and more delicate than wheat, so it's lovely for tender breads, hearty blends or 100% spelt loaves.
Best for: soft rustic loaves, 100% spelt bread and whole grain blends.
What's included
10 g of dehydrated sourdough starter, made with organic spelt flour
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
Warm, nutty flavour and a soft crumb
Gentle and easy to look after
Shelf-stable until you're ready to bake
Please note: spelt is a type of wheat and contains gluten, so this starter isn't suitable for anyone with celiac disease or a wheat allergy.
