Buy Wilma! My sourdough starter
$15
Why Wilma?
Wilma is my strong, time tested sourdough starter. The exact starter I use every day in my microbakery. Your starter is the back bone of your sourdough baking journey. I always say, you're not bad at sourdough, you just began with a weak starter!
Wilma is the original culture that built my driveway bakery, feeds my family, and produces the bubbly, strong loaves you see in my videos.
Now, it's dehydrated and ready for artisan bread making in your home kitchen.
Perfect for beginners and seasoned bakers who:
Feel intimidated by starting from scratch
Have tried before and failed
Want a strong, active culture from day one
Want to replace a beloved starter of their own
Prefer simple, clear instructions to get started with confidence
What you'll receive:
Dehydrated flakes of Wilma, my active bakery starter
Digital Step-by-Step rehydration instructions
Simple feeding guide
Beginner tips to help you succeed
No guessing.
No waiting weeks hoping it "comes alive"
Just rehydrate, feed, and start baking!
If you've been saying, "I want to try sourdough someday..."
This is someday!
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is this beginner friendly?
Yes. This was created for both beginners and long time bakers. Clear insructions are included.
How long does it take to activate?
Most starters are bubbly and ready to bake with in 3-5 days after rehydration.
What if I've failed at sourdough starters before?
Most failures come from a weak or immature starter. Wilma is a mature, established culture, which makes a huge difference!
Do I need special flour?
No. Unbleached all-purpose or bread flour works great.
Is this the same starter you use in your bakery?
Yes. It's dehydrated from my active daily culture.
