A gift that begins with one loaf

There is something deeply satisfying about turning flour, water and salt into a loaf of real sourdough bread.

This starter gift set gives a new baker the culture, essential tools and guidance they need to begin. It is simple enough for a complete beginner, but filled with useful equipment they can continue using as their baking develops.

Unlike a gift that is enjoyed once and forgotten, a sourdough starter can be cared for, shared and baked with for years.

What’s included

• 20cm banneton proofing basket – Supports the dough during its final rise and helps create a beautifully shaped loaf.
• Reusable banneton liner – Keeps the basket clean and gives the baker a choice of finish.
• Wooden UFO bread lame – For scoring the dough before baking, complete with five spare blades and a protective storage pouch.
• Flexible dough scraper – Useful for mixing, dividing, shaping and moving sticky dough.
• Beginner’s sourdough guide – Clear instructions for waking the starter, caring for it and baking the first loaf.

They will only need to add flour, water and salt at home.

Made for first-time bakers

Sourdough can look complicated from the outside. Our guidance breaks it into manageable steps, from waking the starter to knowing when the dough is ready for the oven.

And if something does not look right, they will have access to our online baking guides and friendly support from a real sourdough baker.

Ready to give

The set arrives carefully presented in recyclable packaging and can be sent directly to the recipient. No prices are included inside the parcel.

Because the starter is supplied dried, you do not need to worry about choosing the perfect day for them to begin. They can wake it whenever they have the time to enjoy their first bake.

A thoughtful gift for birthdays, Christmas, housewarmings, couples, food lovers—or anyone ready for a slower and more satisfying way to bake.

Packaged in a plastic-free, recyclable gift box, this kit makes an ideal present for bread lovers or anyone wanting to learn the art of sourdough. Just add water and a little time, and you’ll be baking mouth-watering  sourdough in no time.
