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 baking done, but I did manage to retest and update my sourdough cheese cracker recipe. I’m also baking a few loaves of bread today that I’m planning to trade with my cousin for some of his firewood.

Going to have my first fire in the fireplace this weekend. I’ll keep you posted on how that goes!

With the warmer weather starting to peek through, I thought it would be fun to share a few sourdough loaves that feel like spring to me.

I hope you give one (or a few) a try and enjoy! 💛🌼

P.S. Check out my Recipe eBooks + Resources page for printable sourdough recipes and guides! 📚📝🍞

​Maple Oat Sourdough​

Celebrate maple syrup season with this simple, rustic loaf.

​Blueberry Lemon Sourdough​

Extra tangy and naturally sweetened with fresh or frozen blueberries.

​Garlic Herb Sourdough​

Loaded with garlic and fresh spring herbs.

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 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.

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...
