Bake your first loaf with ease using Mother & Crumb’s beginner-friendly dehydrated starter kit.
If you’ve been seeing more sourdough pop up on your feed lately—whether it’s on TikTok, Instagram, or your favorite food blog—you’re not imagining it. Sourdough is everywhere, and for good reason. It’s not just trendy; it’s timeless, nourishing, and incredibly rewarding to make from scratch.
At Mother & Crumb, we’re here to make your sourdough journey simple, joyful, and foolproof—starting with our dehydrated sourdough starter kit, perfect for beginners and seasoned bakers alike.
Why Sourdough?
Sourdough bread is made using a natural fermentation process, relying on wild yeast and beneficial bacteria from a sourdough starter rather than commercial yeast. The result? A flavorful, crusty, beautifully textured loaf that’s better for you and more satisfying to make.
Here’s why so many people are falling in love with sourdough:
-
Naturally leavened – no commercial yeast required
-
Easier to digest – fermentation helps break down gluten and phytic acid
-
Supports gut health – made with wild cultures and live bacteria
-
Stays fresh longer – its natural acidity extends shelf life
-
Incredible flavor – tangy, complex, and uniquely yours
Why Bake It Yourself?
There’s something deeply grounding about baking bread with your own two hands. It’s a slow ritual in a fast world—a way to slow down, connect, and create. And with the right tools (like our dehydrated sourdough starter), it’s a lot easier than you think.
When you bake sourdough at home, you control the ingredients, the process, and the result. No additives. No shortcuts. Just simple, nourishing bread made from scratch.
