Small Batch & Handmade.
Bring ancient grains to life in your kitchen with our Live Spelt Sourdough Starter. Hand-crafted in small batches and fed with organic Australian stoneground spelt flour, this starter is ready to help you bake bread that’s as nourishing as it is delicious.
Spelt, one of the oldest cultivated grains, is loved for its nutty, earthy, and slightly sweet flavor, which shines through in every loaf. Combined with the natural magic of sourdough fermentation, it produces bread with a tender, chewy crumb and a depth of flavor you simply can’t find in ordinary wheat breads.
Why choose spelt sourdough?
Gentle on digestion – Long, slow fermentation breaks down gluten and reduces FODMAPs, making spelt sourdough easier to digest for many people.
Gut-friendly – Packed with natural prebiotics, it helps support beneficial gut bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium.
Nutrient-rich – High in protein and fiber, spelt also provides essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and zinc. Thanks to fermentation, these nutrients become more bioavailable for your body to absorb.
Ancient grain goodness – Unlike modern wheat, spelt is less hybridized, offering its own unique nutritional profile and natural resilience.
Perfect for home bakers who want to explore beyond wheat, this live starter brings you closer to the roots of breadmaking. Feed it, nurture it, and watch it thrive—soon you’ll be baking loaves with flavor, texture, and nutrition that only spelt sourdough can deliver.
Please note: The glass jar shown represents the live, bubbling culture and is not included. Your live starter is supplied in food-grade transport packaging because an actively fermenting starter cannot be safely shipped in sealed glass.

Incredible results. I was about to give up.

Simply, the best!

I found the dehydrated starter very easy to activate with the simple directions and videos on the website. I'm now on day 2 of maintaining my starter. I might even try storing it in the fridge for easier maintenance like the website says. As a beginner I'm yet to bake a loaf, because I want to understand all the different ratios for feeding/maintaining first.

The sourdough starter is very strong. I had little success with the dehydrated flakes I bought elsewhere at the beginning of my bread making but this live starter has meant success every loaf. Couldn't be happier.

I’m very new to making sourdough my first loaf turns out was under fermented however my second and third loaves turned out perfectly I feel I’m still learning my house is cold due to winter so I’m still learning bulk fermentation but I am looking at investing in a fermentation box the one I purchased had a faulty mat my own fault for buying off Temu. I can’t recommend this starter enough to any new baker to the sourdough journey I’ve made 4 successful foccacias as well

I have purchased this starter several times and it has always been great quality. The bread has always turned out amazing!

My first time attempting sourdough and dough my god your starter and instructions made the perfect loaf!

Received my starter and watched the videos which were v helpful. It’s cold here so my starter took a while so I went to bed a bit deflated. Woke in the morning to doubled starter which got better as the day went on. By afternoon I decided to start making my first loaf and refrigerate overnight. Baked in the morning and it was beautiful! My very first sourdough and I was so proud of it. Next one will be bigger and better. Thank you 🙏

Best product ever works so well

I’m so happy I put my pride aside and bought this starter. You can tell it’s strong and smells lovely. I baked 5 loaves in the first week with it. Would highly recommend. If you’re dreaming of baking sourdough do yourself a favour and skip the highs and lows of building one yourself, this is ready to go and so easy to maintain. It’s doubling within 4-5 hours.

The sourdough starter flakes I bought have activated into a great, strong starter. It was super easy to activate, and has made some fantastic bread so far.
My starter's name is Baby Jane Dough, and has been fantastically easy to deal with and responsive to feeds.
What I really appreciate is the information for activation, feeding, and baking I found on the website... it's made baking fun.
I also have a pack of rye sourdough starter flakes, but haven't yet activated it... I'm expecting it to be as easy as the first one.
Definitely recommend!

The starter I received was amazing! I fed my starter and was mixing my first loaf in 5 hours!
K
Good quality starter. It surely makes the difference with the success of making sourdough. I have frozen some and dried some to ensure I never loose this!

Amazing starter just like the other reviews had no issue and I’m a first time baker

The best of the best . From first time it was a success. Can’t be more happy than that

The starter arrived quite quickly and in excellent condition. After feeding it, I baked the first sourdough rye/spelt bread the next day and it came up wonderfully. I can highly recommend the live rye starter.

My rye live starter has been so active and produced so much starter for me to use. I feed it as per the ratio on DMG website 1:1:1.2 and it is peaking in a few hours! It’s awesome!
