Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Sourdough Bakers

Looking for the perfect gift for a loved one who’s a sourdough aficionado? We’ve put together the definitive list of top gifts for you to choose from – something for every budget, and every level of baker:

Here are our top Christmas Gift picks for sourdough bakers: 

1. The Challenger Bread Pan

In our humble opinion, this bread pan is a staple piece of equipment. Once bakers discover the incredible results after using the Challenger Bread pan they wonder how they managed without it. The pan traps steam which surrounds the bread as it bakes. This gives sourdough loaves extra crunch.

3. A Grain Mill

Grain mills are a perfect gift for those looking to level up their sourdough baking. There are lots of different types of grain mill to choose from but our top pick would be the Mockmill Lino 200. This easy to use mill outpurs 200 grams of flour per minute from grain. Not only will the taste of freshly milled flour will set the top bakes apart from the rest, but the Lino 200 looks fantastic on the worktop due to the exceptional design of the mill.

4. Baking/Pizza Steel

The DeliverDeli Baking Steel is the perfect gift for bakers of Sourdough baguettes or sourdough pizza makers. The steel heats up rapidly and transfers that heat directly from below the bread or pizza base. The baking steels removes the need for a pizza oven making this a much more economical way of re-creating authentic Italian pizza.
