This sourdough baking kit packs seven tools, a dehydrated sourdough starter, a recipe and video tutorials into one box. It is made for first-time bakers who want everything needed to bake a sourdough loaf.
The starter is a mature, active 5g dehydrated culture that rehydrates in 2 to 4 days. The banneton holds shaped dough during the final proof and wicks moisture for a crust with spiral rings. The Danish dough whisk cuts through sticky, high-hydration dough without trapping it in the wires.
A QR code on the box links to a step-by-step video guide that needs no login, subscription or app. It covers rehydrating the starter, mixing and developing the dough, bulk fermentation and stretch-and-folds, shaping and using the banneton, scoring with the lame, and baking in a Dutch oven. A Dutch oven is not included.
