I have been successfully baking with sourdough for 3 years and want to share some of my favorite tools! Sourdough is so doable for anyone who enjoys baking and who doesn’t the fresh, warm bread!!
I will admit that I was skeptical about this at first but I have found that I really love it and feel like it makes a big difference! It is super easy to use and a great tool!
Dough Whisk
I really love tea towels to cover my dough as it rises. You can certainly use any towel you have at hand but I love these ones and often wrap my loaves in these when I give them away!
DII Basic Kitchen Cotton Dishtowel Set, 5ct
Probably the most obvious piece you may need but a good quality mixer can really help. Most bagel recipes have a good amount of kneading and the mixer really helps.
KitchenAid
I do my sourdough by weight and this basic food scale works perfect. I’ve found that I prefer baking by weight so I used this for a lot of other baking as well.
Amazon Basics Digital Kitchen Scale with LCD
These have been super handy to have around. I’ve used other ones that don’t have the buckle and love the buckle. I like the ability to wash and reuse them!
2 Pack Beeswax Bread Bags for Sourdough
These are not a necessity but are really nice to have around when you give people some baked items! I love how it makes it feel more special! I bake a lot of sourdough scones and these are super fun to pack them in when I give them away!
