With each purchase, receive a £99 voucher, redeemable against the standard Sourdough Club membership fee.

How this works: Membership costs £299.  If you choose to follow this offer you split your payment into 2.  The first purchase is for your kit. This comes with a voucher for the value of your kit which you can redeem against the purchase of your membership for an additional £200, effectively integrating the cost of your starter kit into your membership.

Why do we split the purchase?

I’ve worked with Ben for many years. Like me he runs a small business very well, and Deliver Deli is especially good at getting my kits posted and getting flour in stock that I use. I don’t want to use Amazon, and I love working with a small company that has similar values to us,  I hope you appreciate that our values go beyond just bread.

Who should buy this kit and membership?

Our ‘Sourdough Boule Baking Kit’ is ideal for all sourdough bakers, but more advanced bakers are advised to bake boules. and if you are someone who needs to get their sourdough baking tools together then this kit contains everything you need to begin to bake healthy and nutritious, diversity sourdough boules.

This kit includes Vanessa Kimbell’s The Sourdough School recipe book, plus a beautiful artisanal printed Basic Boule Recipe cards. It is the perfect accompaniment to all of the sourdough boule recipes in Vanessa’s other recipes books and on the Sourdough Club. Free for all to use on the Sourdough School website is our Sourdough Boule Recipe.

It can of course be purchased as an essential sourdough baking kit for yourself or as a gift for someone.

This sourdough baking kit comes with a £99 coupon which can be used to join the Club.  Your coupon gives you or a loved one £99 off our Sourdough Club 12 Month Gold Community Membership.

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. Enjoy getting into the rhythm of the baking schedule, understanding how important temperature and timing is, and the basic principles of flour.

This kit comes with a very special flour, our Diversity Blend 0+ flour, part of our Botanical Blend range. 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 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. We don’t include one in the kit because fresh starters needs to be sent priority/next day delivery.

You can view our membership options here and join.

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 [email protected]

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 [email protected]

Free courses

Occasionally you will be offered a free course 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 your code and link will be emailed to you, so please do look out for that. Any issues with your code please email [email protected] 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.

Flour

When you buy flour that is organic you must place it in the freezer for 24 hours minimum. When pesticides are not used there can be small bugs in there, and freezing the flour prevent anything from continuing to grow!

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.
