Hey Reader,

Can you believe it's already August? This summer is truly flying by! I swear the older I get, the faster each year seems to go.

At this point in the season, my garden is in full production mode. I have more cherry tomatoes than I can eat, lots of zucchini, and enough cucumbers to make a few jars of pickles (with hopefully more to come). I also planted tons of flowers this year to attract more pollinators, and it's been so fun seeing all the bees and butterflies buzzing around my yard.

Besides spending lots of time in the garden, I also treated myself to some new home gym equipment! I'm really excited to start using it and see how much stronger I can get.

For me, August is all about making the most of the last stretch of summer—enjoying warm evenings, cooking with fresh garden produce, and, of course, baking plenty of sourdough.

So this week, I thought I'd share five of my favorite sourdough bread inclusions that are perfect for August.

I hope you find one you love and enjoy! ☺️

​Jalapeño Popper Sourdough​

All the flavors of the classic appetizer baking into a loaf.

​S'mores Sourdough Bread​

Tastes just like your favorite campfire treat.

​Kalamata Olive Sourdough​

Perfect for dipping in oil on a warm summer night.

​Pesto Sourdough Bread​

The perfect loaf for summer sandwiches.

​Pepperoni Pizza Sourdough​

Dip in marinara for an easy game day appetizer.

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, 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...

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...
