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 expected, but the loaf baked with ice definitely had a more blistery, crusty exterior. So I’d say it’s still worth it.

Last weekend, I went antiquing with a few friends and found the cutest little vintage one-cup Pyrex measuring cup from the 1950s. I was so excited! I’ve been trying to collect more of the original Pyrex pieces for my kitchen since they’re made from borosilicate glass instead of tempered glass.

And I think it’s safe to say spring is officially here. My 20 hens are laying about 15 eggs a day right now. It’s been a little hard to keep up, but I’m certainly not complaining!

With Easter just around the corner (next weekend!), I figured it was the perfect excuse to make something a little sweet. So today, I’m sharing a few easy sourdough desserts you can serve for brunch or dinner.

I hope you find one you love and enjoy! 🐰🐣

P.S. Remember that sourdough bunny loaf I mentioned? I posted a quick reel showing exactly how to shape it if you want to give it a try.

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.
