The Dutch Sourdough Starter Whisk | The dutch sourdough starter stirrer

Why I made this whisk 🥖

When I first started baking sourdough, mixing my starter always felt harder than it should be. It held on to the spoon, stuck to the sides of the jar and never dissolved the way I hoped. And because the jar opening was small, most tools simply did not fit. Every feeding took more scraping than stirring.

I wanted something small, simple and made for this one task. A tool that fits inside a starter jar and moves through thick starter without effort. A true sourdough starter stirring tool made for daily use.

That became the Dutch Starter Whisk. Light, easy to hold and shaped to reach every corner of your jar. The open wire design breaks up the starter quickly so it blends into water within seconds.

Handmade in the Netherlands 🪵

Each whisk is made by hand in a small workshop in the Netherlands. The handle is made from natural beechwood and shaped by hand. You can choose from three handle styles, each with its own character.

Handle Styles

• Classic Handle
  The original HappyFields handle with carved grooves for a traditional look and comfortable grip.
  
• Hanging Handle
  A rounded handle with a small hanging hole at the top. Ideal if you like storing your tools on a hook or rack.
  
• Smooth Handle
  A clean minimal design with a soft, seamless shape. Simple, modern and calm.

All handles are left untreated so the pale grain stays visible. You can leave the wood as it is or oil it yourself if you prefer a warmer tone.

The stainless steel is made in Italy and chosen for its strength, durability and clean finish.
