Whether you're maintaining an active starter or experimenting with hydration levels and fermentation times, this bundle has your back.
Inside this curated kit, you'll find the core tools used by sourdough bakers around the world:

-
Beginner-Friendly Sourdough Bread Recipe – Our tried-and-true method to bake your first (or one-hundredth) delicious loaf with confidence.
The Sourdough Toolbox is ideal for home bakers who already have their own starter bubbling on the bench and a favourite flour in the pantry. It’s also perfect for gifting to the sourdough lover in your life—or for treating yourself as your baking journey evolves.

It got this with the Dutch oven and it had everything I needed to get my first loaf in and out of the oven and it did not disappoint! I was so happy with how it tasted, the quality of the gear and the helpfully detailed instructions. Thank you guys. Love your work!
I did a lot of research online for different sourdough kits and everything was pointing towards You Knead and im so glad i went with them.
My wife absolutely loves the kit and the Dutch oven and its improved her sourdough tenfold. Just having the right tools for the job not only makes it more enjoyable but you have a perfect outcome every time. cannot recommend them enough!
Love the product. Service was great
What a great business, teaching people how to make beautiful bread! I am so pleased with my starter kit.
After a 15 year hiatus from attempting sourdough bread making, I am back and now successful. OK, it was my first loaf after receiving a You Knead kit for Xmas, to be fair, but success is success. At least 6 previous attempts ended in sub standard loaves and plenty of issues regarding the quality and life of the starter. The easy to follow beginners recipe and the starter starter (so to speak), have me confident I can get it right this time. Loaf No 2 will be the test as I had to refrigerate my new starter after my novice loaf as we need only one loaf a week. Big test later this week. Looking forward to restarting the starter starter………..
