The Sourdough Slice

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

Hey Reader,

As you're reading this, I'm on a 4-day trip to the Adirondacks in New York with my two best friends. Every year, we spend a long weekend in October leaf peeping. I love living in New England and being within driving distance of so many beautiful places to explore.

This week at home was full of funny animal surprises. It started with my one-year-old cat, Otto, figuring out how to climb into the ceiling of my basement. Luckily, I figured out how he was getting up there and was able to block off his entrance.

Then, later in the week, a groundhog decided that my fall decorations were his personal buffet, which made for an adorable little fall photoshoot. And finally, my neighbor's pigs broke loose (again) and had a party tearing up my lawn (again lol). Fortunately, it's just grass and can always be fixed.

In between all of the animal adventures, I also did a ton of baking. I've been revisiting some of the older recipes on my blog and giving them a bit of a refresh, and it's been so much fun tweaking them with all the new things I've learned about sourdough over the years.

I also shared two brand-new recipes on the blog this week, so today's recipes are basically a little "what I've been baking lately" mashup.

I hope you find one you love 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.
• ​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.
