Unbox to first loaf · Beginner

Your First Rise Kit journey

Move from a box of essentials to a repeatable starter routine, then begin your first-loaf course.

Lesson 1 of 4

Unbox & make room

A good beginning is a clear workbench and an understanding of what each tool does.

Ingredients for this learning path

  • Dehydrated sourdough starter, when your kit arrives
  • Unbleached flour
  • Clean drinking water

Equipment

  • Digital scale (provide your own)
  • Clean jar with loose-fitting lid (provide your own)
  • Kit proofing basket, bench and bowl scrapers, and dough whisk
  • Rise & Ritual by Sol & Sahara Goods branded apron and hat
  • Notebook

The lesson

  1. Check the kit contents against the supplied list. The proposed First Rise Kit includes dried starter, a proofing basket, bench and bowl scrapers, a dough whisk, a Rise & Ritual by Sol & Sahara Goods branded apron and hat, and printed guidance; final contents will be confirmed before sale.
  2. Set out your own scale, jar, bowl and ingredients. The basket supports the shaped dough during proofing; it never goes into the oven.
  3. Choose a stable location for your starter away from direct sun and heat sources. Label your jar with the date and leave plenty of room for expansion.

The baker’s note

Begin the revival process when you can check it each day, rather than immediately before travel.

Practice

Identify which items you already own and which you still need.

Technique lessons may require a separate complete formula. Read the full path before mixing.
