WHITE SOURDOUGH STARTER KIT & COURSE

This is our fresh White Starter, with sweet yogurt-like flavours – our original sourdough starter.

"My French white starter is one that I have been using since I was 11 year old and originates in the bakery I grew up baking with in France. It takes a bit longer to reach its peak and is generally slower and sweeter, and much more forgiving of being neglected for a week, so is the one I recommend for beginners.

I have verbal confirmation that the starter originated over 115 years ago and has been maintained ever since…it’s a lovely story. Although the microbes double every 20 – 30 minutes when they are refreshed…so it is either over a century old or 30 minutes old depending on how you want look at it." - @vanessakimbell, founder of The Sourdough School and Club

BAKING AS LIFESTYLE MEDICINE

The BALM (baking as Lifestyle Medicine) Protocol underpins everything we do at the Sourdough School and Club.

It is a holistic approach to baking as preventative health. It is an approach that uses evidence-based behavioural interventions to prevent, treat and manage chronic disease.

On our courses, students study our 7 core principles that underpin BALM and how about baking and eating healthy bread can support your gut Microbiome. How they can incorporate these principles into their sourdough baking to nourish their gut microbiome.

🌾 WHAT ARE BOTANICAL BLENDS? 🌸

The idea of Botanical Blend Flours was created by @vanessakimbell of the @sourdoughschool as part of her innovative approach to baking sourdough bread to nourish the gut.

Botanical Blends are milled from a diversity of grains, pulses and botanical ingredients like flowers, herbs and spices. The diversity of the flour promotes gut health and supports agroecological farming methods.

Learn about making and milling your own botanical blends in Vanessa's book Sweet Sourdough or buy botanical blend flour from our shop 👆

FLOUR IS NOT JUST FLOUR… When I’m choosing fl

FLOUR IS NOT JUST FLOUR…

When I’m choosing flour, I look at the type of milling method used, because this makes a huge difference to your bread.

When wheat is turned into flour, the grain is crushed, milled and then sifted to remove the germs and the fibrous outer layer, which is how we get lighter, whiter flour.

Traditionally, flour would be stoneground, but the modern milling process uses steel rollers. These rollers are very efficient at separating out the component parts of the grain, but they also get hot, which can partly kill off the wild yeasts and lactic acid bacteria that might be present in the flour.

IS IT A YOGA MOVE? WHY DO I NEED TO STRETCH & FOLD

IS IT A YOGA MOVE? WHY DO I NEED TO STRETCH & FOLD?

In sourdough, gluten doesn’t need developing by kneading. Trust me, you will get a better rise and lighter loaf by using the long, slow fermentation to align the gluten molecules instead of kneading.

Simply leaving the dough to ferment with just a few stretches and folds to help will result in a gluten structure that gives the bread the complex network of sticky strands that capture the CO2 as the yeasts get to work consuming the sugars in the flour.
