Ontario, Canada (May 1,
2025) — Home baker Rachel Pardoe, better known to
the social media community as Sourdough Enzo, which has a massive following on
platforms from Instagram to YouTube, has launched her first-ever sourdough
starter kit designed to help other home bakers elevate their sourdough skills.
“I developed this kit with really
high-quality, professional grade tools that I use myself along with my own
personal starter,” says Rachel Pardoe, founder of Sourdough Enzo. “Sourdough
can be kind of intimidating and this kit takes the guesswork out of the process
while providing home bakers with beautiful, functional tools to help them
succeed in their sourdough endeavors.”
Early into her sourdough journey, Pardoe
fell in love with the creative process of sourdough scoring, which is the
design technique that results in artistic sourdough almost too beautiful to
slice. After learning a variety of techniques and processes through hundreds of
online videos, she took to social media herself and quickly garnered a large following
for her stunning scoring as well as recipe idea posts. Eventually, she branched
out to naturally leavened bread in all its forms. In 2022, one of her videos
went viral and her success has been skyrocketing ever since.
In 2024, she took her idea of developing
a sourdough starter kit from concept to reality, launching the Sourdough Enzo Artisan Sourdough Bread
Kit that includes all the necessary materials home bakers need to create their
own sourdough masterpieces. This premium sourdough kit, which is ideal for both
novice and experienced bakers, includes:
-A lab-dehydrated starter cultivated from
Pardoe’s personal starter (Sourdough Enzo). This reliable starter features a
balanced composition of yeast and bacteria and is easy to reactivate.
-An eco-friendly
reusable bowl cover from Wild Clementine Co.
-A handcrafted
lame from Wire Monkey, for perfect scoring every time.
-A professional-grade oval-shaped rattan
banneton with premium linen liner for optimal proofing.
-A high-accuracy
digital scale.
-A pair of
functional stork scissors with sharp precision edges for decorating.
-A
custom-designed bench scraper.
-Instructions on
how to rehydrate the Sourdough Enzo starter.
The Sourdough
Enzo Artisan Sourdough Bread Kit begins at $177++ (USD). It is available for
order via website and ships to addresses within the
U.S. and Canada.
Sourdough
enthusiasts can follow Sourdough Enzo on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and
TikTok, where Pardoe shares videos, recipes, tips, scoring styles and
more.

About Sourdough Enzo:
Like many people around the world, Rachel Pardoe began
baking sourdough bread in her kitchen in 2020, when the popularity of this type
of bread was soaring. Beginning with a starter she received from a neighbor,
Pardoe found the process of scoring, or designing, the bread to be a
particularly appealing creative outlet. She taught herself stunning scoring by
watching hundreds of sourdough experts’ videos, learning various techniques
herself before evolving into a sourdough specialist in her own right. In 2024,
Pardoe developed the Sourdough Enzo Artisan Sourdough Bread Kit featuring high-quality,
professional-grade materials to help make the sourdough process seamless for
home bakers of beginner and expert skill levels. For more information or to
