Buy Sourdough Starter in Colchester — Real Bread, Shipped Free

Colchester knows a thing or two about foundations. Colchester Castle, the great Norman keep in Castle Park, stands on the foundations of the Roman Temple of Claudius, in a town once called Camulodunum — the first Roman capital and Britain's oldest recorded town, beside the River Colne. Good bread works the same way: start with a strong, proven base, and everything you build on it tastes better.

Questions Colchester bakers ask

How do I wake up the flakes when they arrive?

Add flour and water following the enclosed steps, keep the mixture at a comfortable room temperature, and feed it as directed. Most bakers see lively bubbles within a few days and are soon ready to mix a dough.

Is shipping to Colchester really free?

Yes. Shipping to Colchester and everywhere else in the UK is free. The flakes are light and shelf-stable, so they travel well and wait happily in your cupboard until you are ready to start.

What if my starter does not activate?

That is what the activation guarantee is for. Follow the instructions, and if your starter does not come to life as promised, we will make it right — no fuss, no guesswork.
