Mad Millie Sourdough Culture Sachets - Pack of 3
Product number: 62532
It’s hard to beat a delicious loaf of sourdough bread, but growing or maintaining a sourdough culture can be a time-consuming process. It’s easy to bake your own sourdough at home with the Mad Millie Sourdough Culture as it requires no cultivating, so you can add it straight to your dough mix and get on with the baking without any hassle.
Easy to use
The pack includes three sachets of sourdough culture – enough to make 6 x 700g loaves – and each can be used to ferment dough recipes which use up to six cups of flour, or you can use half a sachet per loaf.
To prolong their shelf life, store your unopened sachets in the freezer – the cooler temperatures put the live cultures ‘on hold’ until you’re ready to use them.

Followed the instructions exactly and got fabulous bread. Mixture was just right and certainly wasn't too wet ( as other reviewers have said). Will definitely be using again.
I needed to add 540g of wholemeal flour and to knead for 15 minutes to create the elasticity I wanted. I preheated the oven for an hour at 250 with a pizza stone and iron and 20 minutes before putting the first loaf in I put a roasting tin in the bottom filled with boiling water and two cotton towels. I left the loaf to rise on a metal baking sheet covered with a large stainless steel saucepan which i kept on for cooking. Opening the door to put the loaf in dropped the temperature to 230. The result was the best bread we'd ever tasted, and light as a feather. I am ordering another pack.
Basic instruction card provided but easy follow video on the manufacturers website. Recipe produces a very sticky dough but just stick to video instructions and the results were perfect. Only thing i did was reduce the oven temp to 210 degrees and put dough onto baling baker in the pot. Tip: Also kept back a teaspoon of the sticky dough placed in a clean jar in fridge and then have fed it 50g flour & 50ml water to keep a culture going for later use- the has worked perfect as well :) - plenty of instruction on web how to maintain a culture.
Nice rise, not sure about it being true sour dough. Must learn more...
Like others I found the metric measurements produced a very wet dough - like focaccia in consistency. Couldn’t be kneaded or shaped. On the hottest day of the year it did get very active though, so I only let it rise for 12 hours and then used a loaf tin. The top burnt, because it wasn’t in a Dutch oven, but the bread was lovely and light and had a mild sourdough flavour. Next time I won’t let my toddler dump all the water in and adjust to get a proper consistency. A reasonable sourdough given you don’t have the hassle of maintaining a starter, but not as delicious as my rye starter.
