What sourdough actually costs to make

A typical 900g sourdough loaf uses about $0.80-$1.20 in flour, salt, and water. Add starter maintenance, mix-ins, and packaging and you're at $1.50-$2.50 per loaf.

With 30-45 minutes of active time and a 24-hour ferment, most home bakers should charge $10-$16 per loaf to make this a real business.

What your customers expect to pay

  • Plain country sourdough: $8-$12
  • Specialty (jalapeño cheddar, cinnamon raisin): $12-$18
  • Whole grain or einkorn: $14-$20
