Give the gift of sourdough bread making! 🍞<\/h2>\n

A few of us here on the Hip2Save team have recently started baking sourdough bread and are totally hooked. Last week I shared a cute DIY Christmas ornament<\/a> that looks like a mini sourdough starter, and now I’m back with a fun sourdough-themed gift basket gift idea! If you have a sourdough fan in your life consider gifting any or all of these helpful supplies.<\/p>\n

Once you get the timing and process down, baking sourdough is easy to accomplish and becomes a little addicting! I mean who doesn’t love some warm homemade crusty bread with butter? YUM!<\/p>\n

Collin, Bryn, and I all love baking sourdough and chatting about it! <\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s satisfying to slice into a crusty loaf of warm bread to serve your family and it’s basically just flour, salt, and water. Our kids and husbands are really enjoying this new skill! Ha! I love that you can go all in and be very precise or just be super casual and the bread will still turn out.<\/p>\n

Here are some of my favorite sourdough baking supplies! <\/strong><\/h2>\n

We are all brand new to sourdough and loosely follow the same Emile Raffa everyday sourdough recipe<\/a>. Her book Artisan Sourdough Made Simple<\/a> is fantastic; I love her bread and bagel recipes, which is why I have included in the gift basket.<\/p>\n

I think the key to success is to have a strong sourdough starter. You can order sourdough starter online<\/a>, get some from a friend, or make your own. I picked up a highly-rated glass sourdough starter kit with a nice breathable lid and scraper that will keep things nice and neat. It has instructions to make your own starter, or you can use it as storage for your starter, so it’s a great addition to the gift basket, even if your giftee is already baking.<\/p>\n

Having a kitchen baking scale to measure ingredients is much faster and more accurate than using measuring cups. I have been using this inexpensive one from Amazon<\/a> and love it, so I’m suggesting to add that, too.<\/p>\n
