Sourdough Starter

For beginners, it’s easier to start with a mature sourdough starter. Once you’re familiar with the process, you can try making your own starter! There’s plenty of places to buy a starter, but I’m linking mine which I found on Etsy. I love being able to support a small business and the quality is top notch.

Mason Cash Mixing Bowl

You know you’re a sourdough addict when you have a favourite mixing bowl but this one truly is a dream come true! It’s huge, which makes mixing easy and mess-free. Plus, it’s so pretty that when I’m not using it for dough, it’s a decorative piece on my shelf.

KitchenAid Stand Mixer

Making sourdough bread at home usually involves about 10 minutes of hand kneading, but with this useful machine, you only need 2 minutes! It’s a real time-saver and spares your hands from the effort. But it doesn’t stop there! This KitchenAid Stand Mixer is not just for bread. It’s also perfect for a range of recipes, like homemade butter, whipped cream, cookies, and icing. This versatile tool always comes in handy and worth every penny.

Kitchen Scale

A must-have for sourdough baking: this tool ensures accurate measurements and saves you from washing lots of measuring cups.

Farmhouse Linen Apron

Making sourdough bread is made extra special when wearing this beautiful farmhouse linen apron. Complete with adjustable straps, large pockets and a long skirt to protect clothes from stains, it’s perfect for all your homemaking and homesteading pursuits, from baking, cooking, cleaning, gardening and everything in between. It’s handmade in Canada, with high quality linen that will last you a lifetime!

Cast Iron Dutch Oven

A dutch oven is an essential element for baking artisan style sourdough bread, and this one is not only practical but aesthetic too. I especially love the gold handle. Someone send this link to my husband (hint, hint).
