Thoughtfully made, ready to revive
Every product is prepared in small batches with real ingredients and the patience of slow fermentation.
2025
The year it all began — in a Riverview kitchen.
Started from a love of real food, made slowly.
Sweets and Sourdough began in 2025 with a simple desire — to find healthier ways to enjoy the foods we love. What started as a home kitchen experiment became a calling: slow fermentation, honest ingredients, and the kind of bread that tastes like it was made with care.
We believe baking shouldn't be intimidating. Our dehydrated starter makes it possible for anyone — even complete beginners — to bring real, living sourdough into their own kitchen. No guessing, no daily feeding schedules, just a simple path to homemade bread.
From jar to loaf in 5 days
Rehydrating your starter is simple. No experience needed — just flour, water, and a little patience.
Rehydrate
Add water to the dehydrated starter flakes and let them sit. The culture wakes up within hours.
Feed & Wait
Feed with flour and water over 3–4 days. You'll see bubbles and rise — signs of active fermentation.
Bake
Once bubbly and doubling in size, your starter is ready. Time to bake your first real sourdough.
Baking made approachable
