9 Things Every Sourdough Baker Needs for Christmas

Dec 15

Finding the perfect gift for a sourdough baker can be hard, especially if you don’t know what to look for! Here’s a roundup of some of my favorite items for sourdough baking.

1. Dutch Oven

2. Quality Bread Knife

A high-quality Dutch oven is essential for baking real sourdough bread. Look for one that can handle high temperatures and retains heat well. (They’re also amazing multi purpose pots to have in your kitchen!)

A good bread knife makes all the difference, especially with artisan sourdough breads! This one works amazingly and is a great multi-purpose tool to have in your kitchen drawer.

3. Cute Starter Jars

Can you technically put your sourdough starter in anything? Yes. Does that mean you shouldn’t have a cute container to keep it in? Of course not. These Weck jars are practical for storing your sourdough starter and look so cute in the kitchen!

4. Banneton Proofing Baskets
