  • Our take on the Sourdough Essentials

    Sourdough Essentials is a starter kit built around Willa, a freeze-dried sourdough starter from Ballerina Farm's farm kitchen, packed with two glass Weck jars, a wooden spatula shaped for stirring and scraping, and a step-by-step feeding and rehydration guide. It suits someone who wants to begin sourdough without assembling jars, a starter and a stirrer separately. Against typical starter kits, it leans on the named starter and the Weck jars rather than on a scale, proofing basket or scoring tool, which are sold separately. Reviewers rate it highly, though the feedback base is small.

    Questions and answers

    What is included in Sourdough Essentials?
    A freeze-dried Willa sourdough starter, two glass Weck jars, a wooden sourdough spatula, and a step-by-step feeding and rehydration guide.
    How do I get the starter going?
    The starter is freeze-dried and needs rehydrating and regular feedings following the included guide before it is strong enough to leaven bread.
    Can I bake bread with just this kit?
    Not on its own. You still need flour, water, salt, a scale and something to bake in; Ballerina Farm sells lames, high-protein flour and French grey sea salt separately.
    Are the jars for baking or for the starter?
    The two Weck jars are for feeding and storing the starter, not for baking loaves.
    Is this a good choice for a beginner?
    Yes, if you want a starter, jars and a stirrer in one set with instructions. Expect to add your own scale, flour and baking vessel.
    Where is the Sourdough Essentials cheapest?
    At Ballerina Farm, for $44.00, as of our latest check.
    What do buyers say about the Sourdough Essentials?
    Rated 5 out of 5 from 11 ratings.
