The Sourdough Bread Craze Might Be Over, but You Can Still Make the Perfect Sourdough With This Kit

It seems like at one point we were all baking sourdough bread. For some, it might have been a one-time thing spurred by quarantine, but for others, it may have been the start of a lifelong hobby. While most bread recipes call for some kind of yeast, sourdough bread can be made with a sourdough starter. If you've been having trouble getting your sourdough starter just right, then using a sourdough starter jar kit might be the move. Whether you're a newly minted sourdough enthusiast or perhaps you want to try it out for the first time, this sourdough starter jar kit could be worth a try.

For just around $27 dollars, this 4.7-star-rated Sourdough Starter Jar Kit can help you dip your toes in the art of sourdough baking or even master it. Created by actual sourdough home bakers, the kit comes with all the essentials you need to maintain your sourdough starter, including two 34-ounce glass sourdough crock jars, two temperature strips, chalk labels and a chalk pen, a dough whisk, a bread lame, and a plastic dough scraper. The glass jars in particular are a great inclusion, as they offer the optimal way to store a sourdough starter and keep unwanted chemicals from leeching into the dough. The temperature strips included here are also good to have, as they help track the temperature of your starter as you activate your leaven.

The kit is designed to help create the perfect environment for your sourdough starter to thrive and can make a great gift, either for yourself or for someone special in your life who enjoys baking. You can find it on Amazon here.
