At The Sourdough Starter, we believe in crafting bread the traditional way. Our pizza bases and starters are naturally leavened and hand-shaped, made fresh in the heart of Middleton St George.

Nestled in the heart of MSG, The Sourdough Starter is a delightful micro-bakery run from a small production kitchen near the airport. Here, Paula has created something truly special: a living, breathing sourdough starter cultivated using local environmental bacteria and traditional fermentation techniques. This unique starter is the soul of every bake.

What began as a small endeavour in April 2024 has blossomed into a thriving micro-bakery. Paula's hand-stretched sourdough pizza bases — and now, jars of her own living starter — have become a firm favourite with home cooks across the village and surrounding areas who want real, slow-fermented bread without the weeks of feeding it themselves.
