Outstanding Starter & Bread

Starter constituted easily. Using it 4-5 x week and consistent dough. The taste is excellent. Couldn't be happier with my bread and so is my family.

Brought this starter to australia

Being gluten intolerant I was looking for a sourdough starter that had the least amount of gluten in the final bread, and came upon Kensington Sourdough! Bought it when I went to Toronto for holiday and lugged it back to Australia with me. I’ve never made bread before, let alone sourdough, and the instructions that came with it were very clear and easy to do. The outcome is something I’m very proud of and it’s all thanks to this amazing starter. Thank you Kensington Sourdough for making sourdough bread more accessible to the public. Let us know when you have made shipping to Australia possible, need to share this with my friends!
