Sourdough Starter Kit
If you are just getting started in sourdough, here is a list of resources that I used for my first loaf.
Earlier this year, my brother gifted me the obligation of a sourdough starter. With the new baby in the house, I had to take a crash course in nurturing and feeding.
Getting Started
If you are trying to create a new starter, or looking for tips to keep one healthy, I recommend this article and companion video from Patrick Ryan which does a great job showing the process in action.
Gear
Once you are acquainted with the process, the issue becomes proper gear:
Starter Jars
I love these Bormioli Rocco Fido jars which are the perfect size for maintaining a starter, and it still fits in the fridge.
Kitchen Scale
A kitchen scale is necessary for maintaining your starter and mixing precise bread recipes. This Ozeri model has great reviews.
Sourdough Tools
And once your starter is ready for primetime, there are certain tools necessary to make well formed sourdough. This affordable starter kit has the essentials:
- Proofing basket
- A lame
- Bowl scraper
Good luck
Thats it! That is everything you need to know in order to get started and produce a loaf better than the one I made in the head of this post. Good luck, and keep experimenting!
