A gift that begins with one loaf

This isn’t a gift that gets used once and forgotten.

The dried starter can be woken when the recipient is ready. With regular feeding, it can be kept and baked with for years—becoming part of their kitchen and their weekly rhythm.

It begins with a first loaf. From there come weekend bakes, shared meals and the quiet satisfaction of making good bread from simple ingredients.

What’s included

• Bestselling white sourdough starter – a reliable dried culture, ready to wake and grow at home
• 1.5kg Gilchester’s organic strong bread flour – stoneground, unbleached British flour with plenty of character
• 850ml Weck glass jar – a practical and attractive home for their starter
• Step-by-step starter instructions – clear guidance for waking and caring for the culture
• First-loaf recipe and baking timeline – helps them understand what to do and when

The recipient will also need water and salt to make their first loaf.

Made for first-time bakers

Sourdough can appear complicated from the outside. This set strips the process back to the essentials.

The instructions explain how to wake the starter, recognise when it is ready and plan the first bake. There’s no need for previous bread-making experience or specialist knowledge.

And if something doesn’t look right, our online guides and sourdough support are there to help.

Ready to give

The set arrives carefully packed in a plastic-free, recyclable gift box.

The dried starter requires no refrigeration before use, so the recipient can begin when it suits them. This also makes the set easy to buy ahead for birthdays, Christmas, weddings, housewarmings or Mother’s Day.

Free UK delivery is included, and no prices are placed inside the parcel when it is sent directly as a gift.
