Sourdough Starter

A sourdough starter is a natural fermentation culture made from flour and water. During fermentation, wild yeasts and lactic acid bacteria develop, giving real sourdough bread its distinctive flavour, texture and character.

The Polish Craft sourdough starter is made using rye flour. It is exactly the same starter we use every day in our bakery to bake our sourdough bread. We have been maintaining it continuously for over ten years. It is refreshed and fed regularly every three hours – day and night – week after week, month after month, year after year. Thanks to this careful process, it keeps its strength, stability and unique character. Now you can also have it in your own kitchen and begin your own journey with baking real sourdough bread.
