The 10-week course and printed manual are included with every kit
The Warm Up Kit
Kit + 10-week course
Made for first-time bakers

Your first loaf, in good hands.

A complete sourdough kit, a printed manual, and a ten-week course that builds real technique.

Why starters fail

Sourdough isn't hard. Guessing is.

Most kits hand you a jar and a folded card, then leave you to guess at feeding ratios, timing, and what a healthy starter is supposed to smell like. We built this the other way around — the tools are here to serve the lessons, not the other way around.

HOW IT WORKS

Three things happen when the box opens.

01

Unbox

Every tool the first ten weeks need, in one box. Nothing to source separately, nothing to guess at.

02

Watch

Short technique videos filmed with this exact kit, so what's on screen matches what's in your hands.

03

Progress

Ten weeks of recipes that get harder on purpose, in the order a baker actually learns them.

Questions, answered.

I've never baked bread. Is this really a beginner kit?

Yes. The kit ships with a printed manual and short technique videos filmed with these exact tools, and the 10-week course starts at week one assuming no baking experience at all.

Does the kit include a live starter?

No — the kit doesn't ship a live starter culture. You grow your own using the jar and the week-one lesson in the course, which walks through the whole process.
