Buy Sourdough Starter in Harrogate — Proper Loaves, Shipped Free

If you want to buy sourdough starter in Harrogate without spending a fortnight coaxing flour and water to life, this is the shortcut that actually works. Squirrelly Girl Starter is flaked dehydrated starter from our small Canadian micro-bakery: just add water and flour, follow the simple steps, and it wakes up bubbling and ready to raise real bread in your own kitchen.

Harrogate knows a thing or two about patience and good taste. This is the North Yorkshire spa town built around its mineral springs, where the historic Turkish Baths still draw people in to slow down, and the Valley Gardens are threaded with mineral wells. It is also home to Bettys Café Tea Rooms on Parliament Street, famous for afternoon tea and plump Fat Rascals — so a town that takes its baking and its tea breaks this seriously deserves a loaf with a proper crust and a gentle tang to go with them. A warm kitchen near the Stray, a strong starter, and a little patience: that is a very Harrogate bake.
