Dang, guess me and the Bourke Street Bakery sourdough starter have more in common than I initially thought — we both steadily fermented bitches born in 1997. If you ever wanted to take a sour gen z bitch home, the countries most beloved bakery has you covered.
Bourke Street Bakery is here to make your sourdough baking dreams a reality. The institution is here to make sure you get this fucking bread. They’ve noticed that the bread baking craze has swept the globe, and they’re here to lend a hand to anyone who is overwhelmed by the chemistry of it all. So they’re now flogging the mother culture for their infamous sourdough.
On Tuesdays and Fridays, you’ll be able to hit up the bakery’s website, or your local store and snag yourself a mother culture for $8.50. What you do from there is entirely up to you. You could let it ferment for an additional 27 years and treat yourself to a half-century sourdough; you could lie about buying it and pretend that you made the perfect beast from scratch. There are honestly endless opportunities.
“You can buy your own little piece of George to take home. Feed, grow and nurture him and he will be a source of deliciousness for decades to come,” the bakery shared in an Instagram post.
