Hey Reader,

Have you ever experimented with natural food coloring in sourdough bread? 🌈🍞

This week, I’ve been having way too much fun playing around with naturally dyeing sourdough using things like beet root powder (red), butterfly pea flower (blue), and freeze-dried strawberry powder (pink). I also still have ube, charcoal, and turmeric sitting in my kitchen waiting for their turn.

My original plan was to make a vibrant red, white, and blue loaf for Memorial Day weekend. But interestingly, the beet root powder baked up brown instead of red. So I swapped it out for freeze-dried strawberries instead and ended up with a really pretty swirled loaf that I’m quite happy with. Let me know if you want the recipe!

Other than that, this week was filled with a relaxing Mother’s Day celebration, more gardening, and lots of blooming lilacs around the yard πŸ’œ

With Memorial Day weekend coming up and summer right around the corner, I thought this would be the perfect time to share some of my favorite sourdough recipes for summer. From hot dog buns to easy discard desserts, there’s a little something for everyone.

I hope you give one (or all) of them a try and enjoy! ☺️

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.

We were right up front and had so much fun singing and dancing along. But now that I'm 37, my feet were definitely aching by the end of the night, and getting home at 1 AM was rough. πŸ˜† The rest of my week...

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.

Besides filling my freezer with blueberries, I also went to...
