Quick Answer
Good Christmas sourdough gifts include beginner starter kits, bannetons, lames, starter jars, bread knives, flour sets and homemade baked gifts. Match the gift to the baker’s experience level rather than simply choosing the largest set.

For Complete Beginners
A starter culture, jar and instructions create a clear holiday project.
For Existing Bakers
Upgrade a banneton, lame, thermometer or bread knife.
Flour Gifts

A coherent kit should explain what each item does.
Add a Recipe
Include one simple first bake so the recipient can begin immediately.
