The Sourdough Slice

Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning.

Hey Reader,

Do you ever go fruit picking? 🫐

One of my favorite fall traditions is apple picking, but this week I switched things up and went blueberry picking with my sister's family instead. It was so much fun (and delicious)! I ended up bringing home four pounds of blueberries, which are now tucked away in my freezer for future recipes.

Besides filling my freezer with blueberries, I also went to a 4th of July party at a friend's house, finally made myself a sourdough mushroom pizza because I'd been craving it forever, and spent some time recipe testing.

I also treated myself to a countertop burner so I can film more recipe videos. I'll mostly be using it for Instagram reels for now, but I'd love to start making longer cooking videos someday... once I become a little less camera shy. 🫣😆

Speaking of recipe testing, my garden has officially entered zucchini season. I've been harvesting them left and right, so I took the opportunity to re-test a few of my favorite sourdough discard zucchini recipes.

I'm sharing them with you today, and I hope you find one you can't wait to bake! 💚

To help you get the best results, here are some ingredients and tools I recommend:

• ​Food Scale - Measuring by weight is the easiest way to get consistent results every time.
• ​Dutch Oven - Creates steam while baking so you get a beautiful rise and a crisp crust.
• ​Straight-Sided Containers - Easier to track bulk fermentation.
• ​Bread Sling - Helps you safely transfer dough into a hot Dutch oven.
• ​Lame - Gives you control and confidence when scoring your dough for an even rise.
• ​Proofer - Allows you to control the proofing temperature to better predict bulk fermentation timing.
• ​Aluminum Loaf Pan - Great for sandwich bread, quick bread, and helps promote even baking.
• ​Muffin Pan - Perfect for sourdough muffins, rolls, and individual-sized bakes.
