Dry Sourdough Starter: build a regular baking routine
KNEVA Dry Sourdough Starter is for bakers who want to keep their own living culture. Reactivate it according to the guide, feed it, and watch its activity before using it in dough. Continue maintaining the culture between bakes.
ANYTIME Sourdough Starter: an occasional bake
KNEVA ANYTIME Sourdough Starter suits an occasional bake without a culture to maintain afterwards. Activate it with water first, then use the whole activated culture for one bake. Follow the activation guide and recipe; it is not a powder to add straight to the dough.
Premix: fewer dry ingredients to measure
A premix simplifies preparation by bringing dry ingredients together. Choose your blend and follow its recipe for the water, leavening and other additions. For example, start with the Classic Sourdough Premix guide. You do not need to combine all three ingredient products to begin.
Tools that help at each stage
- Prepare and mix: weigh accurately, use a jar to watch your culture, and mix with a dough whisk. A scraper helps gather and handle dough.
- Proof and score: a banneton supports the shaped dough, while a bread lame gives you control over the score before baking.
- Bake: choose a Dutch oven or Baking Steel to suit your recipe and oven. Check the product instructions for safe use, preheating and care.
- Serve and care: let bread cool before slicing, then clean and care for your tools so they are ready for the next bake.
You do not need every tool to start. Build your setup around the bread you want to make, and follow the dough rather than relying only on the clock.
