A gift that begins with one loaf

There is something deeply satisfying about learning to make bread slowly and properly.

This set takes a new baker from waking their starter and mixing the dough to shaping, scoring and storing a finished loaf. Each item has a practical purpose, without filling the box with equipment they will never use.

The tools can be used again and again, while the starter can be cared for, shared and baked with for years.

It is a generous gift—and the beginning of a rewarding new ritual.

What’s included

• 40g dried sourdough starter culture – Reliable and easy to wake whenever they are ready to begin.
• 80g organic strong white bread flour – Enough for the first two starter feeds.
• 10g sea salt – Measured and ready for their first loaf.
• 850ml Weck glass jar – A secure and attractive home for feeding and storing the starter.
• 26cm Danish dough whisk – Designed to combine flour and water efficiently without clogging like a conventional whisk.
• 20cm banneton proofing basket – Supports the dough during its final rise and helps create a beautifully shaped round loaf.
• Reusable banneton liner – Keeps the basket clean and gives the baker a choice of finish.
• Wooden bread lame – For scoring the dough before baking, complete with five spare blades and a protective storage pouch.
• Premium 100g silicone dough scraper – A substantial, dishwasher-safe tool for mixing, dividing, shaping and moving sticky dough.
• Bamboo starter stirrer – A simple reusable tool for mixing the culture during feeds.
• Natural bamboo banneton brush – Helps remove dried flour and bread debris without damaging the rattan basket.

They will need to add water and enough bread flour to complete their first loaf.

Made for first-time bakers

Sourdough can look complicated when every stage requires unfamiliar equipment. This kit brings the useful pieces together and explains when and how to use them.

Our guidance covers waking and feeding the starter, preparing the dough, judging fermentation, shaping, scoring and baking.

The dried starter can wait until they have time to begin. And if a bake does not go to plan, our online guides and friendly support are here to help.

Ready to give

The complete set arrives carefully packed in a recyclable gift box and can be sent directly to the recipient. No prices are included inside the parcel.

Because the starter is supplied dried, it requires no special storage before use. The kit can be bought ahead for birthdays, Christmas, weddings, housewarmings or another occasion without choosing exactly when the recipient must begin.

A substantial gift for a curious beginner—or someone who has been talking about making sourdough but has never quite started.
