Gift Guide for the Sourdough Baker
Whether you want to get into making sourdough yourself or know someone who does, these are some awesome tools to help get started!
1: Bread Proofing Baskets - The traditional way to proof your dough before baking! You can also get away with using a metal mixing bowl like this one!
2: Metal Dough Hook - This is one thing that I think is a must! I love this one because it has a metal handle which means it can go in the dishwasher unlike traditional wooden handled dough hooks! I’ve used this exact one for years & it’s still going strong!
3: Flour Duster - Right before scoring your bread, many people dust it with flour to give it that pretty look after baking and keeping it from getting too brown. This duster is perfect & I keep one filled with flour for sourdough and the other powdered sugar for dusting sweets!
4: Bread Knife - The best bread knife! So sharp & works like a dream!
5: Parchment Paper Sheets - No more curled up parchment paper from the roll. These sheets are precut to fit a sheet pan, but are also the perfect size to bake your sourdough on! I use one sheet to bake four loaves of bread, so this box will last you a while!
6: Lodge 6qt Enameled Dutch Oven - I’ve used this one for over five years & it’s still being used several times a week in our house! It’s perfect for baking sourdough, but also makes a great pot for your family’s favorite soup or chili!
7: Tea Towels - I love these light towels to put over my dough as it’s proofing
8: Bread Lame - This is how you make those pretty designs on your bread! This one comes with a leather blade cover, extra blades & a plastic case.
