Kensington Sourdough the best. ❤️

Kensington Market Sourdough Starter, works every time. I attempted to make Starter from scratch, ran into problem. After discarding and feed day 5, I add a tablespoon of ready made Kensington Starter I got from Ben, and WOW! my Starter is alive.

Incredible!

I’d been struggling to make loaves with good rise and crumb for 8 months. I stopped beating a dead horse and bought the Kensington starter. This stuff is amazing! Great instructions and even better results. Loaf after loaf come out beautiful.

Wonderful Strong Starter

I had purchased a starter two years ago but never used it because life happened. I ended up buying another starter recently and made my first loaf. It came out so well and my starter is still thriving. I love it
