There are lots of questions that people ask about our sourdough kits and we will be answering these in the tabs below, please refer to these for many more details regarding delivery, returns and exactly who delivers your kit.

Bread can harm or it can heal. Bread and baked goods make up the top three out of four of the largest proportion of our daily calorie consumption. It is impossible to ignore the impact of bread and baked goods on our health and wellness, and yet bread is possibly the most misunderstood of our most basic foods. If bread is a staple food of most households in the UK, why are so many of us content to eat low quality, highly processed bread, that denies our bodies essential fibre and nutrients? Fermenting and baking your own bread is the best way to ensure you are eating the highest quality bread, that is not only nutritious, but delicious!

The beautiful thing about sourdough bread is that’s made with only 3 simple ingredients – flour, water and salt! However, to make incredible sourdough bread at home, you’re going to need a few bits of kit. What’s a workman without his tools?

When you start baking sourdough, there is so much to learn.  The very first thing is to learn a rhythm, and to recognise what good, robust fermentation looks like, so we recommend that you begin with a tin loaf. It gives you time to get into the rhythm of the schedule and to understand the basic principles of flour.

This kit comes with a very special flour, our Diversity Blend 0+ flour. With 10+ ingredients grown in the UK it provides diversity for your gut and an incredible flavour profile for your bakes. It is designed to be used instead of wholemeal flour. It is so much more than just flour.

Whether you are wanting to learn to bake sourdough yourself or are looking for a gift for a food-loving friend, our sourdough baking kits and courses are a great place to start. We are giving you everything you need to get into the kitchen and start baking!

What about a fresh white sourdough starter?

Our White Starter Kit & Course is here should you need to also order a white sourdough starter.

Please note: if you are ordering from abroad please do check our ‘Delivery’ tab below, especially the customs information.

Who delivers?

Often people expect that we are a big company but we are not. We work with Ben at DeliverDeli who helps us run our shop. Ben holds all our stock for us and sends everything out on our behalf. Therefore if you have any queries at all with regard to your order please email info@deliverdeli.com

Returns and replacements

Please see DeliverDeli’s returns policy

If an item is damaged or faulty we can of course accept a return. Please ensure that you take several photographs of packaging and broken items to enable DeliverDeli to claim for any items damaged in transit.

A combination of Covid and Brexit means we don’t always have the exact item listed. We will replace it with the closest suitable replacement. With regard to flour, because we support British farmers we sometimes have limited quantities, so again we will replace like with like as closely as possible, in line with our agro-economical policy.

Delivery

UK and International delivery prices are calculated at checkout, once you have added the items you would like to your cart, and proceeded through checkout, adding your full address. If you are in Europe please see Shipping to Europe 

Unfortunately customs charges are out of our control. Every country has it’s own customs tax and rules. DeliverDeli has set up a system to allow for the customer to pay any customs charges that may be due, online, via an email directly from the courier with your package, to enable your package to be released and delivered to you. Since the UK left the EU this is the best option available and enables the smooth transfer of your items to you. Please do look out for that email, checking your Junk mail file.

Please see ‘International Taxes’ section within DeliverDeli’s Terms & Conditions

If you have any issues with regard to shipping please contact info@deliverdeli.com

Free courses or vouchers

Occasionally you will be offered a free course or a voucher with your kit. We are absolutely delighted to be able to do this. We think this offers incredible value for money but also gives you the opportunity to learn something new when you buy your kit. We very much hope you enjoy these. If you are eligible for a free course or voucher your code and link will be emailed to you when you purchase, so please do look out for that. The email will be from DeliverDeli. Any issues with your code please email info@thesourdoughclub.com or follow this link for how to talk to my team Please do remember we are a small company but we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Prices

Unfortunately price increases can and will happen because the cost of all raw materials has and is going up. We will always try and maintain the prices as close as possible to the original kit price.

EXTRAORDINARY DAY WITH @porta1918 we are so excite EXTRAORDINARY DAY WITH @porta1918 we are so excited to have been filming as part of our new Sourdough Cultural Courses. We’re exploring the beautiful bread culture in Sardinia and we’ve been welcomed by the incredible people at @porta1918 you can expect to meet the amazing bakers and deep dive into the world of Sardinian bread. It’s absolutely incredible and we will release the films & opportunity to bake similarly in September. 

Our gratitude and admiration to the incredible talent and hard work and dedication of the family that make the breads. 

I wonder if the Sardinian people know just how incredibly lucky they are to have a family dedicated to not only preserving the traditions of the island but also how this bread is integral to the blue zone effect, longevity and success of the community? It’s just such a privilege to witness firsthand the care, dedication and craftsmanship of these bakers. 

My heart is just full of gratitude and joy to see the work and the breads & cakes & pastry that delivers fibre, fermentation and the delicious antioxidants ( carotenoids) in the bread that contributes to the lowering in inflammation through the durum flour. It’s easy to forget bread because it’s an everyday thing, but make no mistake bakers and bread are right at the centre of health, happiness and prosperity of the community and never more so than in this beautiful blue zone. 

Please make sure you sign up the newsletter to receive notifications of when this cultural course will be announced.

SOURDOUGH RHUBARB & ALMOND TARTS As the season go SOURDOUGH RHUBARB & ALMOND TARTS

As the season goes on, we adapt these sourdough tarts and use other fruit: peaches, blueberries or apples. But, just now, the rhubarb is bursting out of the garden, pink, tart and gorgeous. The pinker the rhubarb, the more antioxidants, (namely anthocyanins, which are pink).

I love that these are a treat, whilst increasing fibre in your diet. You can of course just use wholegrain flour to make these, however, I highly recommend using Botanical blend no 2 for these to increase the diversity and nourishment o your gut.

FERMENTED FRANGIPANE To celebrate the coming of r FERMENTED FRANGIPANE

To celebrate the coming of rhubarb season, we have set our club members the task of making Sourdough Rhubarb & Almond Tarts! Which include our fermented frangipane.

We often use this fermented frangipane as a base for our sourdough tarts. It is another way of increasing flavour and using up the discard from the first or second build starter. 

As well as breaking down the sugar in your bake through the fermentation process, fermented frangipane adds amazing complexity to your tart or pie. It’s not essential to ferment frangipane overnight.

This is a recipe for Sourdough Club members, follow the link in the bio to learn more about joining the Sourdough Club

🫘 RADICCHIO AND RED ONIONS ON WHITE BEAN PUREE 🫘 RADICCHIO AND RED ONIONS ON WHITE BEAN PUREE 🧅

@dianahenryfood is one of the UK’s best-loved food writers, and she has been kind enough to share this recipe from her book Change of Appetite with our Sourdough Club members!

This is a symbiotic recipe that is ideal to eat alongside your diversity sourdough bread.

Radicchio, chicory, garlic and onions all contain inulin which is a prebiotic fibre helping to feed specific good bacteria in the gut, which then in turn produce all manner of nourishing substances that improve gut health. White beans also contain good amounts of fibre – around 11g per 100g of cooked beans.

Club members can head over to 'symbiotic recipes' to find this one!
