The Internet's Favorite Sourdough Starter! This starter makes great bread.

Please see our thousands of great reviews from our happy customers and our 25K+ followers on Instagram @kensingtonsourdough. We are proud to maintain a 100% customer satisfaction policy and commit to 100% hassle free replacements or refunds.

This diabolical starter traces its roots back to the San Francisco gold rush (really!!) but has been living and mingling with Kensington Markets eclectic denizens for the past several years, and has now mutated into its own beast! it’s been in continuous use since 1850!

If you are wondering why you might want a sourdough starter or to send one as a gift, please see our article: https://kensingtonsourdough.ca/pages/what-is-a-sourdough-starter-and-why-should-you-have-one

This listing is for a pack of our dry starter and our step by step instructions to bring it to life. It will take 5-7 days to get it fully active. We have included some general instruction for maintaining the starter and getting started with your first loaves, as well as links to some of our favourite recipes!

The process is pretty fool proof and you will be baking amazing loaves in no time. It’s a great feeling to watch this starter bursting out of the jar as you are getting ready to start baking — we defy you to make something with this that doesn’t taste great.

No yeast required, and this starter will last for a lifetime of bread with a simple feeding schedule of flour and water.

Quick delivery to Canada and the USA and around the world. We will process your order the same business day if at all possible.

We work really hard to keep this incredible starter happy and healthy and we hope you will love it as much as we do. Happy baking!

The Kensington Sourdough Team,
Ben, Derek and Cynthia
