Ingredients/additions
The BREAD flour is PERFECT for sourdough! The protein content is perfect and it is unbleached. By far the only flour I’ll use for my starter and my bread making.
Bread Flour | King Arthur Baking Company
I use them for everything now!
Parchment Paper Sheets
My daughter loves purple and pink things so this was perfect! Doesn’t change the taste of the bread either! A little goes a long way.
Purple Sweet Potato Powder
Perfect for having butter softened for fresh bread! Fits a full stick of butter. the inside has a line marked so you know where to fill it up to.
Counter Top Butter Crock
My FAV salt to use to sprinkle on top of bagels and focaccia! Bakes well with making bread too. I like adding it to the top of bagels with garlic to add in that crunch and salty taste
Maldon Sea Salt Flakes
I always splurge and get the 3 pack of these when I buy them. i use them in a brown sugar cinnamon sourdough loaf as well as a cinnamon chip scone recipe too. they are even delish just for snacking on lol

Stretching and folding and working with dough dries my hands out so bad. I use these for stretch and folds
Disposable food safe gloves
Most sourdough recipes weigh in grams, so I find one of these essential to the process.
Amazon Basics Digital Kitchen Scale
I somehow have aquired 4 of these over time (probably from my mom and grandma) i love these for making sourdough because you can use a sharpie to mark on the side when you are done with stretch and folds so you can see how much it has risen over time...
