A crusty, flavorful loaf of San Francisco Sourdough Bread made with Genuine San Francisco Sourdough Starter.You can make that crusty flavorful San Francisco Sourdough Bread in your own kitchen--I promise!  With the San Francisco sourdough starter, my detailed instruction booklet and my free unlimited tech support, you CANNOT fail!  Your family and friends will not believe you baked this beautiful artisan sourdough bread yourself.

Sourdough bread is made with wild yeast instead of packaged baker's yeast.  The San Francisco sour dough starter that you will receive is made up of a tiny amount of flour, the live wild yeast organisms, and another live organism called a lactobacillus, which is what creates the sour flavor in your sourdough bread. If you'll follow the detailed instructions in the printed booklet you receive with your sourdough starter, you will not only make your own homemade sourdough bread, you'll have fun doing it. The San Francisco sour dough starter also makes wonderful pancakes and waffles too.  Take a look at the sourdough recipes on the Recipes page.  By the way, shipping for the Sourdough Starter is free--in the USA, Western Europe, Canada & Australia, and most other places in the world too.        Tell Me More

Straight-Sided Dough Rising Buckets

Alton Brown recommends that you allow your dough to rise in a container with straight sides--otherwise, how will you ever know when it has actually doubled?  It's all a guessing game in a mixing bowl that slopes from very small at the bottom to w-i-d-e at the top.  I know I can't really tell.  I use one of these containers to let my dough rise, and there is absolutely no doubt when it has doubled. 

Made of  food-grade
polyethylene, they are heavy-duty and dishwasher safe.   All this for only $11.99 for the 6 Quart size, $9.99 for the 4 Quart and $7.99 for the 2 Quart size.  Iif you get this handy tool along with other things in one of the Bread Maker's Kits, the shipping will be very little more for lots more stuff.

Instant-Read Thermometer with Extra-Large Dial--so easy to read!

Here's a picture of my old thermometer alongside the new one with the large dial.  I'd love it even if I didn't wear bifocals!  In addition, I was surprised when I compared this 'old fashioned' analog instant-read thermometer with one of those new digital ones.  I'm all about new kitchen tools, but in this case, the digital is in the drawer.  This one reads temps twice as fast as the fancy one that needs a battery.   Go figure!  Anyway, it's nearly impossible to tell when a loaf of sourdough bread is ready to take out of the oven without one of these.  If you already have one, then use it!  Or, if yours has a small little dial that's hard to read, get this one anyway.  A loaf of bread is done when its internal temp is between 200° and 210° F.   $9.99 with only $1 shipping.

An Ultra-Sharp Razor Knife for Making Slashes in Your Risen Loaves of Sourdough Bread

The perfect tool for slashing your beautiful loaves of San Francisco Sourdough Bread. Loaves of unbaked bread that are fully risen are delicate and need a very sharp edge and a gentle hand to slash them without having a 'deflate!'  This little knife, with its snap-off blade sections, is the perfect tool for the job.  If you save it for only cutting bread dough, it will take it a long time to become dull, but when it does, you just snap off the end and voila! a brand new sharp edge.  You'll love this little gadget for other tasks in your home, so maybe you should order two, since the price is right and the shipping is FREE!!  $2.99 with Free Shipping.

Do you have an Oven Thermometer?

If you don't, you need one.  Do you know if your oven's thermostat is accurate?  Even if your it's brand new, your ove's thermostat could be off as much as 50° F. You'll know when this little thermometer goes into your oven.  Then, when you bake, you'll get much more predictable results.  $6.99 plus $1 shipping.

 

 

The Incredible Tomato Slicer

I'll bet you've never seen a knife quite like this one--I hadn't.  When my friend gave me mine, he told me that I wouldn't believe how it could slice a tomato, and he was right!  Unlike other types of cutlery, this blade is both hollow ground and serrated on both sides.  This unique combination allows you to be incredibly accurate with a remarkably sharp knife whether you are right or left-handed.

Soehnle Model 65055 Scale

This is the scale you need if you're a baker.  Bakers know that ingredients, especially flour, need to be measured by weight rather than volume.  And the Soehnle Scale makes it easy as, well, pie.  You can put your bowl on the scale and then just push the tare button and the scale resets itself to zero.  You can do it as many times as you want as you add ingredients. This scale is the one that the folks at Cook's Illustrated magazine (in my opinion, the best magazine for cooks and bakers on the market...with NO ads) recently selected as their favorite.

Sleek and light, the Soehnle shows weights in hundredths of ounces and in single grams.  The one I've been using for several years measures only in increments of 5 grams, and I love the precision of this one.  And the price is an unbelievable $39.99!

Make Your Own Breadmaker Tool Kit

The Brotform Bread Rising Basket

Sometimes called a Banneton (pronounced BANN-tahn), these natural cane hand woven rising baskets help shape your loaf of sourdough bread in its final proofing.   As the dough rises in the Brotform Banneton Rising Basket, the basket's coils and flour dusting provide a beautiful shape and decor for a traditional hearth bread.  The 9" basket holds a one-pound loaf and it's  sort of expensive--$33.  Fortunately it doesn't weigh much, so Priority Mail shipping adds only $7

The Perfect Timer

If you're anything like I am, you have to have a timer--actually two or three of them--in your kitchen.  If I didn't have mine, I'd always let the butterbeans boil over (what a mess they make) and worse yet, I'd burn my beautiful sourdough bread.    Well, anyway, I've owned lots of timers and they either quit working (like the one I thought I was in love with..............) or their ring isn't loud enough or it doesn't ring long enough to get my attention or they're a real pain to set and reset (You've got it--I'm lazy too!  Actually, I call myself efficient!).  Getting to the point here, I've tried and discarded many timers, and I've finally found one that really works for me that's also a great price too. I gave one to my daughter-in-love and she loves it too.  It comes with a battery and it's only $6.99 plus $2 shipping.

The New Improved 'Ove' Glove

The Ove-Glove will keep your from burning your hands as you bake your wonderful San Francisco Sourdough Bread.When I first saw the Ove Glove,I had trouble believing it would do what the manufacturer claimed. But I bought one anyway, since it had a Money Back Guarantee, and it worked.  What's more, it didn't feel like I had a catcher's mitt on when I tried to pick up a baking sheet.  The new improved 'Ove' Glove has silicone strips all over it on both sides so that what you grab won't slip & slide, and it's slightly larger than the old one. It fits righties or lefties with ease. With the 'Ove' Glove, you can protect your hands from the high heat of a breadmaker's oven.  Get one for $22 or, better still, two--one for each hand.  USA shipping is only $2.

Amazing Bowl Scraper

If you've baked with sourdough, you know how sticky and clingy it is--much, much more so than any other kind of dough.  I've struggled with it, and the other day I happened across this bowl scraper and took one home immediately.  I could not believe it when I tried it!  It's stiff and thin enough to scrape a bowl far better than any spatula--and it's flexible enough to curve to the shape of the bowl.  It won't replace your spatulas--but this is one tool you're going to thank me for--I just know it.  Plus, you'll probably like the price too.  Can't get much that's really useful and doesn't wear out these days for $1.99, but that's all you'll pay--and in the USA, you get free shipping to boot.  What a deal!

An Old-Fashioned Tea Towel
for Covering Your Rising Dough
 

An all-cotton towel that's perfect for covering your rising loaves of San Francisco Sourdough Bread.An all-cotton towel is much more efficient for covering rising dough than plastic wrap--it won't stick to the dough and it's so much easier to put on and take off that that blasted plastic wrap that gets wrinkled or sticks to itself. And that's not even mentioning that cotton recycles itself in the washing machine--no plastic to throw away--or the fact that that's what my Grandma Nana used to cover her rising loaves of homemade light bread.   $3.99 with free USA shipping.

Dough Divider, Scraper & Chopper

If you cook, you need this tool...but even more so if you bake bread.  You will find yourself using it constantly for dividing your dough, lifting sticky dough from the counter, and cleaning up the flour that's left.  Truly a multi-tasking tool, (I'm sure Alton would approve!) I can't function with just one--I have three of them out in plain sight next to my chopping block.  When you chop onions, just scoop them up with this handy blade and put them exactly where you want them.  The blade is not sharp like a knife, but it is tapered and made of stainless steel, so I use it to chop all sorts of things instead of getting out a knife to do the little jobs.  Easy to clean in the dishwasher.  And of course, the price is right at $8.99 with only $2 for shipping.  Buy it in one of the BreadMaker's Kits and you'll pay even less!

A personal note to you about shipping: 
I hate shipping charges--as a seller and as a buyer.  If you don't want all the items in one of these kits that I've put together and you want to make your own custom Breadmaker Kit, you can do it without paying any extra freight—here's my promise to you--my valuable customer.  If you order several items and it costs me less than you paid to ship your stuff , I'll send a refund to your credit card or your PayPal account for the excess. For example, it will cost me $8 to ship one jar, but if I ship two of them to the same address, I can put them in a larger, Flat Rate box, and it will only cost $9--voila' a $7 refund! (I don't do refunds for less than $1...I'm sure you understand.  : >)
