This kit is perfect for students of our Sydney Sourdough Masterclass and any beginner home baker ready to graduate to artisan bread.

Step 1: Choose Your Proofing Shape (Banneton Basket)

A Natural Rattan Banneton Basket is critical for the cold proofing stage. It absorbs excess moisture from the dough’s exterior, ensuring a taut ‘skin’ that holds its shape and prevents flat loaves during baking.

• Option A: 20cm Natural Rattan Round Banneton: The classic choice for a traditional Boule (round loaf). Perfect for maximizing oven spring and is the easiest shape for beginners to manage.
• Option B: 25cm Natural Rattan Oval Banneton: Ideal for a longer, more elegant Batard (oval loaf). Offers a beautiful presentation and a unique slice profile.

Step 2: Choose Your Scoring Tool (Bread Lame Set)

The Sourdough Lame is where the artistry begins. A sharp blade is essential for controlling where your dough expands in the oven, giving you that perfect ‘ear’ and intricate design. Both options include five (5) replacement blades for long-term use.

• Option A: Sourdough Bread UFO Lame Set (Handleless): The favorite among professional bakers. Its compact, circular design offers maximum control and precision for detailed scoring patterns (like the festive designs we teach in our Sydney classes!).
• Option B: Wooden Bread Lame Set (Handled): Features a comfortable, classic handle that provides a firm grip. Excellent for making long, dramatic cuts and achieving a beautiful, consistent ear.
