The Sourdough Slice

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

Hey Reader,

It's another hot and humid day here in Massachusetts, but I'm still trying to spend as much time outside as I can, soaking up what's left of summer.

Inside, though, my kitchen is officially shifting into fall mode. Being a recipe blogger means I have to think a little ahead of the seasons so I can have recipes ready for you when the time comes.

This week, I started testing two sourdough pumpkin focaccias (one sweet and one savory), a sourdough discard pumpkin cream cheese bread, and a sourdough apple pie coffee cake. I can't wait to share them with you!

When I wasn't testing fall recipes, I baked a few loaves of sourdough for my neighbors and helped my sister make homemade baby food for my niece. I can't wait to see which foods end up being her favorites. πŸ₯Ή

As much fun as I've been having creating all these new sourdough inclusions lately, it made me realize it's been a while since I've shared some of the classic sourdough bread recipes I think every baker should know.

So today, I'm sharing five of my favorite staples to add to your collection.

I hope you find one you love and enjoy! ☺️

​Sourdough Sandwich Bread​

Extra soft, fluffy, and perfect for sandwiches.

​Cinnamon Raisin Sourdough​

With that classic cinnamon swirl and chewy bits of raisin.

​Honey Oat Sourdough​

Soft, hearty, and lightly sweet.

​Multigrain Sourdough Bread​

Made with part whole wheat flour and a seed + grain blend.

​Sourdough Brioche​

Buttery soft and perfect for sandwiches or French toast.

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.
  • ​Aluminum Loaf Pan - Promotes even baking for soft, golden sandwich loaves.
  • ​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, Picture this: It's 6 AM, I'm still half asleep, and I'm boiling water for my coffee. I turn the burner knob off and suddenly... ⚑POP⚑... a big blue spark of electricity shoots out of the back of my oven. Being absolutely terrified of fire, I immediately turned off the breaker and started panicking. There aren't many things more horrifying to a baker than having an oven suddenly go on...

I mostly bake for the blog, but lately I've been getting more requests from friends and neighbors to bake loaves for them. While I don't think I'd ever want it to become a full-time thing, it's been a lot of fun. I love seeing their faces light up when I hand them a fresh loaf. This week, one of my neighbors...

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, It's a rainy and gray day here in Massachusetts today. But honestly, I'm grateful for it. I've been pretty busy this week between the garden, blog, and other fun summer activities, so having an excuse to relax on the couch today has been nice. Between all the cucumbers from my garden and my neighbor's, I ended up making 14 quart-sized jars of dill pickles and 3 quart-sized jars of bread...
