Friheten Sourdough Starter Kit with 35oz Jar & Silicone Banneton 9" Round / 10" Oval — Complete Artisan Bread Baking Set

Friheten Sourdough Starter Kit is a complete artisan bread set that includes a 35oz starter jar, two silicone banneton proofing baskets, a bread sling and a full range of mixing, scoring and baking tools to make multiple loaves at home.

Everything in this kit is chosen to take you from feeding and maintaining a wild starter to shaping, proofing and transferring loaves to a Dutch oven or baking stone. Components are durable, reusable and designed for easy cleaning, so the set suits bakers who want consistent results without specialized single-use equipment.

How do I maintain and track my sourdough starter with this kit?

The kit’s wide-mouth 35–40oz glass jar and marked tracking band make regular feedings straightforward. A breathable cloth cover prevents contamination while allowing gases to escape; the measuring thermometer helps monitor starter temperature for more predictable activity.

• Wide-mouth jar holds enough starter for 4–5 loaves and makes stirring and portioning easier.
• Feeding tracker band indicates last feed day and current level for simple routine management.
• Breathable cover allows CO2 release while keeping out dust and pests.
• Included thermometer helps check ambient or starter temperature for consistent rises.

Why use silicone banneton baskets instead of traditional wicker?

Silicone proofing baskets resist cracks, stains and mold and provide a non-stick surface so dough releases cleanly. They’re flexible for storage, dishwasher-safe for quick cleanup and maintain the dough’s shape during final rise.

• 9" round and 10" oval shapes support a variety of loaf formats.
• Non-porous silicone eliminates absorption and long-term moisture buildup.
• Foldable design saves cabinet space compared with rigid baskets.
• Dishwasher-safe for easy sanitation after baking sessions.

How does the silicone bread sling help when baking in a Dutch oven?

The silicone sling provides a non-slip, heat-resistant surface to lift and transfer shaped dough into hot cookware safely. It also promotes even heat distribution across the loaf and prevents sticking during loading and removal.

• Non-stick silicone avoids tearing or deforming dough when moving it.
• Heat-resistant material protects hands and keeps transfers steady.
• Non-slip backing stabilizes the loaf while positioning it in the oven.
• Reusable mat simplifies cleanup and eliminates single-use parchment.

What tools are included for shaping, scoring and finishing loaves?

The kit supplies a scoring knife with replaceable blades, Danish dough whisk, scraper, silicone spatula and brush plus stencils for decorating. These tools cover mixing, bench work, final scoring and surface dusting so you can produce bakery-style loaves at home.

• Scoring knife with five replaceable blades for crisp cuts and consistent oven spring.
• Danish dough whisk and spatula streamline mixing and folding of sticky doughs.
• Dough cutter/scraper for portioning and cleaning work surfaces.
• Flour duster and 12 stencils for finishing touches and presentation.

Who this kit suits: home bakers who want a one-box solution to learn or refine sourdough techniques, hobbyists scaling from single loaves to regular baking, and anyone seeking durable, low-maintenance tools that replace fragile wicker and single-use baking paper. The Friheten set is also a practical gift for new sourdough enthusiasts or experienced bakers adding silicone proofing options to their toolkit.
