Five Star Gift Ideas

Great! A gift related to sourdough bread baking would be perfect for your dad. Here are some ideas:

1. A sourdough bread making kit: You could put together a kit that includes a sourdough starter, a loaf pan, a dough scraper, and a sourdough bread recipe book to help him make the perfect sourdough bread.

2. A bread proofing basket: This is a basket that is used to support dough as it proofs, making it easier to shape and lift into a baking dish. Your dad would love this gift as it will help him achieve better results with his sourdough bread.

3. Specialty flour: Specialty flour can help improve the texture and taste of sourdough bread. Look for flour from places like Italy, France, or the Pacific Northwest in the US, where sourdough culture is particularly valued.

4. Baking stone: Investing in quality baking equipment can make a huge difference in the taste and texture of sourdough bread. A baking stone can help create a crispy crust and a chewy texture for your dad's bread.

5. Bread Lame: A bread lame, an essential baking tool, is used to score bread dough to control the rising of the dough during baking, creating a beautiful artisan loaf.

I hope these ideas help!

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.

“I wanted a keepsake to give to my father for his birthday as he has terminal cancer. He was delighted by his gift. The process of ordering was easy and delivery was prompt. A great gift idea.”
