Meet ‘Miss Kneady Bitch’!

Miss Kneady Bitch is the heart and soul of Pogie Bait Bakery — our original, well‑fed, wildly active sourdough starter. She’s bubbly, bold, and absolutely convinced she’s the star of your kitchen the moment she arrives. This mature culture has been nurtured with consistency, care, and just the right amount of sass, and now she’s ready to help you bake bread with real character.

 

You take her home in a dehydrated state,  think of her as sleeping and waiting to be awoken. Instructions on what she is and how to easily rehydrate her come in your starter kit.  Once she’s revitalized and inside your jar, she is a living colony of wild yeast and friendly bacteria — the natural magic that gives sourdough its rise, tang, and gorgeous texture. Whether you’re brand‑new to sourdough or already deep in the fermentation life, Miss Kneady Bitch is ready to raise your dough and your confidence.

 

🧬 A Living Lineage — Why Your Starter Needs a New Name

Miss Kneady Bitch is the mother culture. But the moment you take her home and begin feeding her, she starts to change. Your flour, your water, your kitchen’s wild yeast, your climate — all of it transforms her into a new, unique version of herself.

 

That means the starter you raise isn’t Miss Kneady Bitch anymore.

She’s her daughter, her descendant, her next generation.

 

And every new generation deserves a new name.

 

Think of it like adopting a pet: she comes from a strong bloodline, but she becomes uniquely yours the moment you start feeding her. Name her something bold, ridiculous, sweet, or chaotic — whatever fits her personality once she wakes up.
