Sourdough Kit FAQ
New to sourdough? You are exactly who we made this for. These are the questions most first-time Macalicious bakers ask before opening the box.
Is the kit really made for complete beginners?
Yes. The ingredients are pre-portioned, the key tools are included, and Adele walks you through the process with step-by-step videos, written guidance, timers, and reminders.
What comes in the box?
The kit includes the dry ingredients for two loaves, dehydrated sourdough starter, starter flour, rice flour, a mixing and proofing container, measuring cups, bread scorer, scraper, sourdough slings, a flexible cover, and a printed roadmap.
What do I need at home?
You provide water, a standard home oven, and a suitable covered oven-safe pot. The app explains how to use them.
Do I need a kitchen scale or Dutch oven?
No. The included measuring tools replace the need for a scale, and a special Dutch oven is not required.
How long does the process take?
Plan on approximately eight days from activating the starter to baking your first loaf. Most stages involve brief hands-on steps followed by time for the starter or dough to develop.
How many loaves does one kit make?
The included ingredients are portioned to make two full-size sourdough loaves.
How do I access the video instructions?
Use Macalicious in the Kitchen on your phone, tablet, or computer. The printed roadmap in the box points you to the guided experience.
Can I keep using the starter after the two loaves?
Yes. Adele teaches you how to feed and maintain your starter with flour and water so you can keep baking after the kit ingredients are used.
Is the kit gluten-free?
No. The kit contains wheat flour and is not suitable for anyone who must avoid wheat or gluten.
Is the kit kosher?
The kit is OK Kosher certified. Always review the current certification and package labels if you have specific dietary requirements.
