Why We Sell Our Sourdough Starter (And Why It Matters More Than You Think)
Share
It Started With Frustration
We didn’t set out to sell a sourdough starter.
We just wanted to bake better bread.
Like most people, we followed the recipes. Measured carefully. Waited patiently. Hoped for that perfect rise… that open crumb… that bakery-quality loaf.
And still?
Flat bread.
Dense crumb.
No life.
At some point, it hits you:
It’s not the recipe. It’s the starter.
The Truth Most People Don’t Hear
Sourdough baking gets overcomplicated.
People will tell you:
- It’s hydration
- It’s shaping
- It’s fermentation timing
And yes—those matter.
But none of it works if your starter is weak.
A weak starter:
- Can’t lift your dough
- Can’t develop structure
- Can’t create that airy, open crumb
You can follow the perfect recipe and still fail.
Because the foundation isn’t there.
What Changed Everything
Everything changed when we focused on one thing:
Building a strong, reliable starter.
Not just something that survives…
Something that performs.
A starter that:
- Rises aggressively
- Ferments consistently
- Brings real flavour to the dough
That’s when the bread changed.
Suddenly:
✔ Dough felt alive
✔ Loaves rose higher
✔ Crumb opened up
✔ Flavour deepened
And baking stopped feeling like guessing.
Why We Created Squirrelly Girl 🐿️
We built Squirrelly Girl inside our micro bakery—
not as a product, but as a tool we relied on every day.
Fed, stretched, baked… over and over again.
She became:
- Strong
- Predictable
- Full of character
And a little… unpredictable (in a good way).
The kind of starter that doesn’t just sit there—
it works.
So we made a decision:
👉 Instead of letting people struggle the way we did…
👉 We’d give them a better starting point.
Because You Shouldn’t Have to Fight Your Starter
Baking sourdough should feel:
- Creative
- Grounding
- Rewarding
Not frustrating.
You shouldn’t have to spend weeks wondering:
“Is this even alive?”
You shouldn’t be guessing every time you bake.
You deserve a starter that:
✔ Wakes up fast
✔ Rises strong
✔ Actually helps you succeed
This Is Bigger Than Bread
Sourdough isn’t just about flour and water.
It’s about:
- Slowing down
- Making something real
- Learning a skill that sticks with you
And there’s something powerful about pulling a loaf out of the oven and thinking:
“I made that.”
We sell Squirrelly Girl because we want more people to feel that.
👉 Start Baking Real Sourdough (No Guesswork)
If your bread has been:
- Flat
- Dense
- Inconsistent

Final Thought
