Our most important ingredient - the dried sourdough starter flakes! This is what makes sourdough, sourdough! The sourdough starter contains the wild yeast that produces bread with distinct sourdough flavours. Simply follow the instructions in the recipe (provided with the Complete Sourdough Starter Kit) or on the recipe section of the site to begin your very own sourdough starter.
No need to wait multiple weeks for a strong starter to develop, using these dried sourdough starter flakes will have your starter strong and ready to make your first loaf of artisan sourdough bread in as little as 2 days!
Please note: Jar not included, this is the dried flakes packet only. You can purchase the starter jar separately here or if you'd prefer the complete starter set, check out our starter jar + starter flakes bundle here.
Starter flakes weight: approx 11g

Fantastic
I was super nervous about starting my Sourdough journey but felt my chance of success would be better if I began with a good starter. I read and researched for hours and finally landed on the ‘You Knead’ starter kit. Wow!!! It was much easier than expected and boy is it an active little pocket-rocket. My loaves are amazing! I’ve documented my journey and my friends are now jumping on the bandwagon. Well worth the spend and the time❣️
I have loved this mob for years- ordered my kit years and had great success. Several years later I’m starting again and having starter issues. The support provided has been great and I know I will have success again.
Recently purchased Sourdough Starter. My starter is now up and running beautifully. So so happy with my purchase.
All items received within a week, which was great. Have already trialled the Fermentation box which worked a treat. Thanks heaps. Very happy
