Ready to start your sourdough era?

I am thrilled to introduce "Betty" my vibrant, made from scratch sourdough starter who’s been quietly perfecting her craft in my kitchen in Cedar Lake, IN. More than just a baking ingredient, "Betty" is a living tradition, a bubbly companion, and the secret behind my artisan sourdough creations. She’s been nurtured with care, fed with the finest flours, and treated like a cherished member of my family.

Now, I am excited to share "Betty" with fellow baking enthusiasts who appreciate the art of slow fermentation and real, handcrafted flavor. Whether you’re a first-timer eager to try your hand at sourdough or a seasoned baker looking for a reliable starter, "Betty" is ready to bring her tangy magic and spunky personality to your kitchen.

Long before store-bought yeast, bakers relied on wild cultures like Betty to leaven their bread. These starters harness natural yeast and lactic acid bacteria from the environment, creating complex flavors and textures you simply can’t achieve otherwise. "Betty" thrives on consistency, care, and the simple combination of flour and water.

Sourdough isn’t just delicious—it’s also easier to digest for many, packed with probiotics, and remarkably resilient, keeping your loaves fresher longer.

I have begun sharing small portions of "Betty", along with personalized care instructions, and my perfected perfect "Sourdough Boule" recipe. The response has been incredible. Now, Betty's "Children" are filling homes across the country, helping bakers create their own heirloom loaves.

When you purchase "Betty" from my Etsy shop (or contact if local), you’re not just buying a starter—you’re joining our baking community. Here’s what’s included:
