Five Star Gift Ideas

Here are some thoughtful gift ideas for your friend who enjoys sourdough bread making:

1. Sourdough Bread Making Supplies: Consider gathering all the essential supplies like the sourdough starter, a large mixing bowl, a bread lame, a set of measuring cups & spoons, and a Dutch oven. You could also add a custom-made bread basket to hold the finished product.

2. Bread Cookbook: Look for a cookbook that has a great collection of sourdough bread recipes. Some recommended books include Tartine Bread by Chad Robertson, Flour Water Salt Yeast by Ken Forkish, and The Bread Baker's Apprentice by Peter Reinhart.

3. Bread baking classes: A gift card for a bread-baking class could be the perfect option for someone who wants to improve their bread-making skills further. Alternatively, you might want to register yourself and join in the session too.

4. Bread Basket Subscription: Surprise your friend with a monthly subscription to a bread basket. It's a fun way for him/her to test out new types of bread flour, recipe combinations and try their creative hands on different varieties of sourdough bread.

5. Bread Proofing Basket: If your friend does not have a bread proofing basket or wants to upgrade her bread-proofing game, this is a great option. The basket provides the perfect space for sourdough bread to rise, and the resulting beautiful patterns on the bread.

6. Bread Scoring Lame and Blade set: This set includes a beautiful artisanal bread-scoring blade and a leather holder to help your friend make precise cuts in the dough before baking. It's an essential tool for scoring sourdough bread.

Hopefully, these suggestions will help you find the perfect gift for your friend who loves sourdough bread making.

Or you can get her/him a star map with an important date you share.
