Sourdough Starter Kit for Beginners – Banneton Bread Proofing Basket Round 9” with 24oz Glass Sourdough Starter Jar & Sourdough Bread Baking Supplies

Recently got a Dutch oven and wanted to start making my own sourdough. This kit is great and a lot is included for a good price. The jar for storing starter has both a metal lid and a fabric cover so it can be fully sealed and stored in the fridge or sit on the counter with the fabric cover and allow your starter to rise. It also comes with a band that lists days & times so you can track when you last fed your starter and how much it has risen. The spatula is long and skinny so you can feed & mix your starter directly in the jar. The whisk makes mixing the dough very simple. The plastic scraper helps get any sticky dough bits off the side of the mixing bowl. I've made two loaves so far, one loaf using the banneton floured and put the dough directly into the wooden bowl, and one loaf using the fabric cover (floured) covering the wooden part. Both loaves turned out great and didn't stick to the banneton either time. The lame blade is SUPER sharp so scoring the dough before baking was extremely easy. It also came with multiple replacement blades, and the lame has a leather cover for safe storage. I haven't had to use the metal scraper/cutter yet but I'm planning to make bagels soon so that will come in handy when dividing the dough. The seller also emailed me very specific care and usage instructions prior to my kit being delivered so that was very helpful. I would highly recommend this kit and will likely buy another banneton from this seller so I can have multiple loaves ready to bake at a time!

This kit is unlike any other kit I have purchased, hands down. The items fit perfectly with what is needed to learn and master the art of artisan sourdough bread making. Each item is quality constructed and performs at peak level. The wooden handles for the bench scraper and stirring stick are large enough to accommodate your hands, ergonomically designed to be used with ease and works perfectly as intended. The banneton bowls are well made, provided with fabric covers or liners - your choice - and do a wonderful job at holding the dough as it proofs before baking. The cutting blade is well designed and allows the baker to slice at an angle that will create beautiful dough "ears" that allow steam to escape while enhancing the crunch and flavor of each loaf. The creator of this product even reaches out to you after the sale and engages in conversation to help the new cook feel more confident in cooking the bread. If your intention is to learn the art of artisan sourdough breadmaking, you will not be disappointed with this purchase!

Honestly it appears to be good quality. I opened the box and took a look at it. Its all well packaged. I think its a nice starter set for someone who already enjoys baking. No weird smells or odors, good size baskets, looks great.

I received my order pretty quickly and I've made some loaves with it already. I'm very happy with how sturdy each piece that come in this kit. I'm fairly new to baking good bread and I'm constantly developing new skills. I wanted a knife to make backing cuts in my bread, using a double edge safety razor along was kind of difficult to manipulate. I also wanted proofing baskets and a scraper for my dough. When I went to find proofing baskets this kit came up with all the individual items I wanted! I wasn't let down by the sturdiness of the items. I would say high quality but as new as I am to baking I don't have great comparisons. The items I received don't feel like they're going to give out on me any time soon. I've baked 6 loaves, 2 actual loaves and 4 baguettes, so far with these tools. I'm new at this so I haven't yet mastered getting those amazing spirals out of the loaves out of the banneton baskets. I think I need to try their recipes they provide instead of using the one I've most familiar with. I can say that the scoring knife that comes with it has absolutely elevated my cuts. I think the handle does wonders for leverage when guiding the score. Another thing I like about this kit is that it comes with a blade protector so I don't have to worry about my razor's edge when I'm not using it. I'm very excited for continued learning using these new tools to up my bread making game. I'm quite happy with the quality of the products in the kit.

I bought this sourdough bread baking kit for my son because he wants to learn how to bake bread. We haven’t had the chance to try it out yet, but everything in the kit looks really nice so far. The proofing baskets seem sturdy and well-made, and it came with helpful tools like the scraper and scoring lame. We’re both excited to try our first loaf soon. It looks like a great starter set for beginners like us. I’ll try to update this review once we’ve baked with it, but for now, we’re happy with the purchase!

I recently purchased a Banneton Basket, and it has completely transformed my sourdough journey! The quality of this basket is exceptional. It gives my sourdough loaves the perfect shape. The basket is sturdy, well-constructed, and the craftsmanship is evident in every detail. Using the Banneton Basket has improved the texture and appearance of my bread significantly. My loaves now have that professional, artisan look with those lovely spiral patterns on the crust. The dough doesn’t stick, thanks to the well-designed linen liner, making the entire process smooth and hassle-free. Cleanup is a breeze, and the basket is easy to store. It has quickly become an essential tool in my kitchen. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or just starting out, this basket is a game-changer. Highly recommended for anyone serious about baking the perfect loaf!

Cover for jar works so much easier and better than gauze. Works so well for sourdough bread. All tools are great and useful. Can't extol it enough. I would give this product 10 stars!

It was nice , but the second basket is too small.

It was ripped when it turned up

All the tools you need to get the job done. They are pretty good quality

I have been making my sourdough bread for a while and this equipment is exactly what I was looking for: good quality, well packaged for shipping and delivery even faster than expected.

I am a beginner at sourdough bread making. This set was recommended to me by my niece and I love it! My first attempt with the baskets was good. The second time the pattern was even better, sadly no photo. It takes some practice to use the lame properly. Follow directions on the box. I will soon be ordering the oval basket. Thank you for helping to make my sourdough bread making so much fun!
