Our most important ingredient - the dried sourdough starter flakes! This is what makes sourdough, sourdough! The sourdough starter contains the wild yeast that produces bread with distinct sourdough flavours. Simply follow the instructions in the recipe (provided with the Complete Sourdough Starter Kit) or on the recipe section of the site to begin your very own sourdough starter.
No need to wait multiple weeks for a strong starter to develop, using these dried sourdough starter flakes will have your starter strong and ready to make your first loaf of artisan sourdough bread in as little as 2 days!
*Note* - jar not included, this is the dried flakes packet only. We have a jar that can be purchased separately here.

Customer Reviews
Took me a week of feeding but it is now doing amazing things...
Looking forward to making some of the recipes on YKS website.
My breads are looking amazing.
Simple instructions that result in gorgeous and tasty bread. I have made a few loaves now and each time am impressed by how it turns out. Delicious!
Great customer service. Always willing to go above and beyond. Howver I have had 2 failed attempts (me not the company). I may knead to try for a third time 😂
I went overseas for 2 months and my starter was done. Got a new one and wow - nothing better than fresh Xmas sourdough.
Received items promptly and have since embarked on a successful sourdough bread journey.
