It all started with a loaf of bread and a bit too much starter…
After several failed attempts, I started baking sourdough in 2021 and my starter was so healthy I thought I may as well start selling all of the excess starter I was producing. Then, about a year later, I had the sudden idea to design my own dough whisks, spurtles, and scrapers. I was lucky enough to find my business partner and expert woodcrafter, Zach, right here in Leeds! It all fell into place seamlessly and through selling kitchenware I've made so many baker friends near and far. I've decided to stock some of the amazing kitchenware that I use in my own kitchen. I stock items from small batch ethical makers from the UK and Europe, and I have one lovely business from the states. Each item in my shop is something that I use and adore. I hope you find something here that brings you joy!
Please feel free to message me any time with any questions you may have!
Cheers :)

Interested in baking bread at home?Baking with sourdough does not have to be complicated!
I am here to help you learn the process, beginning with your starter. My starters come in dehydrated packets with twice as much as you'll need so you have some insurance just in case.
I know that sourdough baking and keeping a starter alive can seem like an intimidating process, but starters are very hard to kill, and I promise you that once you have all of your containers and utensils at hand, and a few rounds of practice under your belt, you won't be able to stop baking bread. It will become second nature and may even become a therapeutic practice. Once you've found your rhythm, I hope that you'll be able to pass your new knowledge on to anyone curious.
Please feel free to contact me at any time with any questions you may have. Happy baking!
What is a dry sourdough starter?
Dry sourdough starter is created by dehydrating a portion of an active, healthy sourdough starter. My dehydration method preserves the beneficial lactic acid bacteria and wild natural 'yeasts' that are living in the starter. These ingredients are responsible for making a sourdough starter bubble, and sourdough bread rise. The dry starter is still very much alive. It is simply in a dormant state and needs to be reactivated. That is where you come in.
Using a dry sourdough starter is a great way to kick-start your sourdough baking journey. By using a dry sourdough starter, you’re working with a healthy established culture from the get-go, and this is a much easier & quicker way to create your own long-lasting starter than starting it from scratch.
All you'll need to revive your starter is some bread flour, warm water, and a kitchen scale (you'll need this for baking forever so invest in one straight away).
My starter is fed twice per week with nourishing organic & biodynamic flour from Shipton Mill. Every Floaty Goat starter comes with a comprehensive guide to baking your first loaf of sourdough at home, as well as a few of my favorite sourdough recipes.
