Sourdough Starters & Baking Tools

The perfect food for our Rye Sourdough Starter and as an ingredient in the homemade artisan sourdough loaves. Rye flour is said to be the most nutrient- and amylase-dense option for a sourdough starter therefore it ferments more actively.

600g in a home compostable bag.

This diastatic malt powder is made from certified organic barley grown by a family farm in Central Otago, New Zealand.

A favourite ingredient among bread bakers, diastatic malt powder helps improve dough strength, oven spring, crust colour, and overall texture. By increasing enzymatic activity in the dough, it helps convert starches into sugars more efficiently, supporting better fermentation and a beautifully browned crust.

Ideal for sourdough, artisan bread, pizza dough, bagels, croissant, buns and other yeasted bakes.
