For the Baker
My favorite baking essentials for a smoother, more enjoyable bake.
Tramontina Bread Oven
This ceramic bread oven is one of my favorites for a perfect, crispy crust. It mimics a professional brick oven by trapping steam during the bake, helping sourdough develop beautiful oven spring and a golden, crackly finish.

Berkey Water Filter
Good bread starts with good water. I use this gravity-fed filter system to help remove chlorine and impurities that can sometimes slow down a sourdough starter. It keeps my water as clean and natural as possible, helping my wild yeast stay happy and active.

Stainless Steel Kitchen Scale
I like that this scale has a smooth, crevice-free stainless steel design that truly is a breeze to clean. Plus it has the convenience of USB-C charging with AAA battery backup. It’s a practical and economical choice that makes measuring ingredients and baking in general much easier.

Wood Pulp Bread Proofing Basket Set
These baskets are exceptional because they have a smooth, non-stick surface for easy dough release, and they’re simple to clean with just a brush after use. Less prone to mold, which I love after fussing with rattan. Made from natural spruce wood pulp, they help support good airflow and moisture control for a better crust.

My favorite items for enjoying your sourdough.
Manual Bread Slicer
This slicer is my go-to because it’s much gentler on the bread, helping protect that airy crumb we all aim for. It allows you to get even slices and is adjustable so you can choose your thickness for everything from hearty breakfast toast to thin sandwich slices.

Sourdough Bread Bags
I love these premium, BPA-free bread storage bags I received as a Christmas gift two years ago. The airtight, freezer-safe bags help keep crusts fresh for longer. They’re easy to clean and built to last, making them a great upgrade for sourdough lovers.
