Ancient Einkorn Sourdough Starter Culture

from $15.00

Our Ancient Einkorn Sourdough Starter is truly something special. It has a creamy personality with soft vanilla notes and a gentle milk-like sourness that makes every loaf feel rich and comforting. The flavor is delicate but layered, giving you complexity without overpowering tang.

This starter is also incredibly enthusiastic when it comes to rising bread. It is lively, responsive, and more than ready to lift your loaves beautifully. Of all the ancient grains, einkorn comes closest to behaving like modern wheat, which makes it a wonderful choice if you want something heritage-inspired but still approachable to bake with.

The result is a loaf that feels both rustic and refined, with a tender crumb and a warm golden glow. If you love ancient grains but want reliability and elegance in your baking, this einkorn starter delivers.

KID APPROVED!

Our child tester chewed excitedly while waving her two thumbs up in the air, and then told us it was… wait for it… CREAMY! We weren’t sure if she’d notice this unique feature of the starter and flour, but she did! Once she’d swallowed her first bite, she let us know that our crusts are still too crispy, but she doesn’t mind because she’ll just leave us crusts while she eats allllll the crumb! Lastly, she told us that the kids at her school just don’t know what they’re missing, which is high praise indeed. We tried to ask her more questions about her thoughts, but were unable to do so because she snatched more bread off the table and ran off to play video games while she ate. Two thumbs up!
