What's inside
Everything in the box.
Everything the first loaf asks for and then some.
The Lillinello Sourdough Starter Kit brings together every tool you need to go from first feed to first scored loaf. Designed to live on the worktop, not in a drawer.
What's included
- 22 oz glass starter jar with bamboo lid
- Grade-A rattan banneton (round)
- Dough whisk
- Danish dough scraper
- Bread lame with 5 blades
- Illustrated recipe and starter care card
- Linen bag
- Gift box packaging
Natural materials throughout. No plastic, nothing synthetic. Rattan, bamboo, teak and glass chosen because they work better and last longer.
The process
From jar to first loaf, in six unhurried steps.
Mix
Combine starter, flour, water and salt into the dough when still shaggy.
Fold & rest
Stretch and fold every half hour, then let it rest until nearly doubled.
Shape
Shape your loaf and settle it into the floured rattan banneton.
Proof
Rest and let the dough spring back slowly from a gentle finger dent.
Score
Slash the top with the lame for a clean, even oven spring.
Bake
Bake at 450°F until deep gold and hollow when tapped underneath.
The Lillinello promise
Made to be kept, not replaced.
Handcrafted
Every banneton woven, every tool finished by hand — made in small batches, not production lines.
Natural materials
Grade-A rattan, bamboo, teak and glass. Nothing synthetic, nothing that won't last.
Made to last
Built for a decade of Sunday loaves — the kind of kit you keep, not replace.
"It arrived looking like a present I'd never have wrapped that well myself. My sister actually teared up."

Questions, answered.
How long does the starter last?
A well-fed starter can last indefinitely — some bakers have kept theirs going for decades. Feed yours every 7 days if kept in the fridge, or daily at room temperature. Your kit includes a care card with full feeding instructions.
Do I need any baking experience?
None at all. The illustrated recipe card walks you through every stage — from first feed to first scored loaf — with timings, temperatures and what to look for at each step. If you can follow a recipe, you can bake with this kit.
How should I care for the banneton?
After each use, turn it out and tap away any loose flour. Leave it to air dry completely before storing — never submerge in water. Over time the flour builds up a natural non-stick coating that improves with every loaf.
When will I receive it, and is it gift-ready?
Orders ship in 2-3 business days. Everything arrives in a gift box — no additional wrapping needed. If you'd like to add a handwritten message, select the gift option at checkout.
What's your returns policy?
We offer a 30-day return policy on all unused items in their original packaging. If anything arrives damaged, contact us within 48 hours and we'll make it right.
