E-far 6 Pack Stainless Steel Loaf Pans 9x5
Great Weck Jar for holding a good amount of starter

Essential for creating beautiful scoring patterns and controlling oven spring. I love mine

I've had this one since 2017 and still weighting perfectly.

I'm saving up for one day be able to afford this amazing bread pan. As you can see, I'm dreaming for one day to be able to own tons of The Challenger brand items!!
Challenger Bread Pan®
Been looking for a website that sells this that comes from a legit baking website that isn't Amazon.
SPHERICAL FLOUR DUSTER
Great for making sourdough tortillas. My dream comal because I've only seen nonstick coating griddle which I try to prevent.

Still don't own one but this one is affordable. Rice flour dusting makes your bread pop with its design.

I own the Instant Pot so I use their trivet but if you don't, this is a great option if you don't like too much of a burnt or hard crust.
P&P CHEF 10½" Stainless Steel Cooking Rack 2PK
I've heard it works well for your sourdough not to come out too hard. Another great option if you don't own a trivet
