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!
Please note: Jar not included, this is the dried flakes packet only. You can purchase the starter jar separately here or if you'd prefer the complete starter set, check out our starter jar + starter flakes bundle here.
Starter flakes weight: approx 11g

I’ve had such a great experience with You Knead Sourdough! The products are high quality, easy to use, and perfect for beginners getting into sourdough baking. The instructions and support made the whole process feel simple and enjoyable. My starter became active quickly and I’ve already baked beautiful loaves at home. You can tell a lot of care goes into the business and customer service. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to start their sourdough journey!
The products I have ordered is first class, the issue I had was in regards to delivery, the company you use "DragonFly" are the most unprofessional and untruthful organisation - it took 14 Business days for the delivery to arrive, with daily emails from "DragonFly" advising that no one was at the location at time of delivery - total lies.
If you could only improve your delivery options.
All looked great but the starter did not activate- disappointing.
Fab company easy to buy came quickly will buy again
I got this as a gift for my mother and it has been 5 days and the starter is not activating or growing in size. We were so happy to give it a try and even contacted the team for help but nothing seems to be working. Honestly disappointed and sadly not happy especially for the price we paid.
Hi there,
We’re really sorry to hear this, especially since it was a gift and you were both excited to get started.
We’d love to sort this out for you and help get things moving properly with the starter. Please feel free to reach out to us anytime at contact@youkneadsourdough.com.au — we’re always happy to help and can guide you step by step or look into a replacement if needed.
Regards,
Ariane
