Sourdough 101: Everything you need to get started!
16
items If you’ve been wanting to get into the sourdough game, I’ve created a list with everything you will need plus little extras you may want so you can have a jump start on your sourdough journey! These could even make cute stocking stuffers or gifts for...
This is a great little kit to get some of the necessities you will need from day one! Two types of scrapers, a blade to score your bread and two baskets!
Sourdough Kit
These are my favorite jars to keep my starter in, they have a wide mouth so it’s easy to work with! This is big enough if you’re only looking to make one loaf at a time.
Weck Tulip Jar
These bowl covers come in really handy for when your dough is riding and when you are doing your stretch and folds plus they’re useful for other things too!
Reusable Bowl Covers
If you don’t want to get the bowl covers these are great for covering your bowl while your bread rises or if you are baking pastries, cookies, anything that needs to sit or rest on the counter!
Reusable Cheesecloth 100% Cotton
I love these wax wraps! They are reusable and amazing for storing your bread so they don’t dry out and are covered! You can use these for other foods as well, very multi use!
Bee's Wrap Beeswax Wraps
These are great for mixing your starter as you feed it and scraping the sides of the container clean so you can see clearly as it rises!
Silicone Spatula Set
This guy will make your mixing process faster and easier that just using a fork, it’s much more ergonomic and make me feel fancier!
Danish Dough Whisk
This is so useful for when you need to flour the surface of your loaf before baking or flouring your banneton baskets before placing your dough in so nothing sticks!
Flour Duster
Trust me, you’re gonna need this. I didn’t get one till a few months into making sourdough but this makes it a worlds easier to cut a clean slice!
Bread Slicer
These are totally not needed but so nice to have to make mini loafs! I love these for trying out new mix ins/recipes, to make cute mini loafs for friends/family, or bread bowls for soup!
Mini Banneton Baskets
These are also nice to have if you are ever wanting to make baguettes because without them the bread does tend to like to spread out and become not so baguette shaped!
Baguette Pan
Some baskets for baguettes to proof are super handy as well!
Baguette Banneton Bread Basket
If you want to make oval loafs these are great baskets!
Oval Bread Proofing Baskets
If you don’t have a good scale, you’re gonna need one. Usually when making sourdough you weigh everything out so you can be accurate! This one I linked is affordable and reliable!
Food Scale
Totally not needed but really nice to have especially if your house runs cooler so your starter can rise and become active a little quicker! I personally really love this thing!
Sourdough Starter Warmer with Glass Dome
Again, completely not needed but SO nice to have if your house runs cooler! I love having one of these, it makes the process much quicker!
