Start Your Sourdough Journey with a Proven, Powerful Foundation.
Have you tried to create a sourdough starter from scratch, only to be met with a flat, lifeless jar and wasted flour? A great loaf of bread begins with a great starter, and your journey shouldn't start with frustration.
I created this dehydrated sourdough starter—which many of you know from my YouTube videos as "Bread Pit"—to give beginner and experienced bakers a powerful, reliable head start. This is the very same living culture I use in all my videos. It's exceptionally strong and resilient, delivering consistent results and the complex, dairy-like flavors you've seen me achieve. Stop the guesswork and start baking with a starter you can trust from day one.
A Starter Unlike Any Other: The World's Most Traveled Culture
"Bread Pit" is more than just a starter; it's a globetrotter. Over the years, I've carried this original culture with me on my travels, allowing it to collect and cultivate a diverse, robust ecosystem of wild yeasts and beneficial bacteria from around the world.
This incredible journey has made the "Bread Pit" culture exceptionally resilient and complex, allowing it to thrive in a wide variety of kitchen environments. Each bag contains a piece of that global baking adventure.
