Great bread

Instructions were easy to follow. First loaf turned out great. I over baked a bit so dark on top but still soft on inside and flavour fantastic!

Amazing Starter!!

I purchased this over a year ago and it is still super active! The directions to get it started were simple and worked great. It was so active that it overflowed down my counter! I have dried some out and shared with others. Highly recommend for any just getting with their sourdough journey.

spot on

The dry starter arrived in reasonably time , all the way from Canada. In 6 days of feeding it is truly vigorous and doubles in size in 5 hours, which is exactly what that said it would do. Spot on . Simon Hughes marden , Kent , United Kingdom.
