Our most important ingredient - the dried sourdough starter flakes! This is what makes sourdough, sourdough! The sourdough starter contains the wild yeast that produces bread with distinct sourdough flavours. Simply follow the instructions in the recipe (provided with the Complete Sourdough Starter Kit) or on the recipe section of the site to begin your very own sourdough starter.
No need to wait multiple weeks for a strong starter to develop, using these dried sourdough starter flakes will have your starter strong and ready to make your first loaf of artisan sourdough bread in as little as 2 days!
*Note* - jar not included, this is the dried flakes packet only. We have a jar that can be purchased separately here.
Starter flakes weight: approx 10g
Package size: 13.7 x 9 x 0.30 cm (length x width x height)

My order arrived quickly and I was so excited to start my sourdough journey
I needed a few questions clarified and Ariana was very prompt with reply’s
Still working on perfecting the bulk fermentation period but enjoying the experience
I had great success with my starter and baking beautiful loafs and focaccia
My husband told me don’t buy store bread again
Thank you to all your wonderful team
Yes I am ‘ happy baking’ 🍞🥰
Our first time in braving the sourdough making process was made so easy thanks to the starter & no fail recipe card. We are now up to making about 3 loaves a week by request from friends & family! We are about to get experimental with other recipes that land in our inbox from You Knead. Can’t believe we didn’t start making our own bread sooner!!
Amazing customer care,
My stater failed (or so I thought) but the team were really helpful.
We’re happy to look at photos and offer advice.
Hopefully I will be baking soon.
I received a starter kit for my birthday and I have been pleasantly surprised with how easy You Knead Sourdough set you up for success! I have made 2 sourdough loaves so far and I was truly impressed! It is definitely my new weekly hobby. I loved that there were written instructions as well as videos to help me along. I even made a second purchase for some extra utensils and a Dutch oven.
It didn’t come with introductions. But still great product
