The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, What’s the most unique inclusion you’ve ever added to a sourdough loaf? This week, I made a French onion soup sourdough bread and it might truly be one of the most flavorful loaves I’ve ever made. My neighbors, my dad, and I all couldn’t get over how much it tasted exactly like a bowl of French onion soup. Outside of sourdough experiments, I also learned how to mow my own grass for the...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, Have you ever tried baking sourdough dough straight from frozen? ❄️🍞 A friend asked me that last week, and I realized I’d never actually tried it myself. So of course, I had to test it out right away. And I was so surprised by how well it actually worked! I shaped the dough, let it sit out for a bit to proof, then froze it overnight. The next morning, I baked it straight from frozen in...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, Have you ever made pizza with your sourdough starter? 🍕 Fun fact: my sourdough discard pizza dough recipe was actually the one that “went viral” on my blog a few years back and kind of set me down this whole sourdough path. Fast forward to this week, and I’m back in pizza mode. I started testing a high-protein sourdough pizza dough recipe for the blog that should be ready soon! I also...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, What do you usually do with an overproofed sourdough loaf? This week, I accidentally let one of mine go a little too long and, while it still tasted great, it came out a bit flat. So I took the opportunity to turn it into sourdough croutons. I’ve also been having a lot of fun lately playing around with some more unique sourdough inclusions. This week I added ramen noodle soup to a loaf...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, Did you bake anything this week? My week was full of sourdough, as it always is. I started things off by making four mini loaves and some bread oil dip mixes for a baby shower, which was a lot of fun! I also did a little experiment where I baked two identical loaves — the only difference was that one had ice in the Dutch oven and the other didn’t. The difference wasn’t as dramatic as I...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, It’s officially spring! 🌷☀️ Are you as excited as I am? I celebrated by trying my hand at a sourdough bunny loaf. And I just noticed that the garlic and shallots I planted last fall are finally starting to peek through. Yay! I also broke in my fireplace last weekend. I had some friends over Saturday night, and we made beef stew and had a fire, which was very cozy. Then on Sunday, my...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, How are you adjusting to daylight savings? ☀️ I'm loving the extra sunlight at the end of the day. But as a morning person, the later sunrises are definitely making it harder to get out of bed. That said, I'm thrilled we had a few days that truly felt like spring here this week! I took the opportunity to go for a short walk outside for the first time in months. I didn’t get a ton of...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, Do you usually make your sourdough loaves with bread flour or all-purpose (or something else)? In most of my recipes, I recommend bread flour by default. But recently I realized something — I had never actually done a true side-by-side comparison myself to see how much of a difference it really makes. So this week I decided to run a little experiment. I made two loaves exactly the same...
