Hey Reader,

It’s officially spring! 🌷☀️ Are you as excited as I am?

I celebrated by trying my hand at a sourdough bunny loaf. And I just noticed that the garlic and shallots I planted last fall are finally starting to peek through. Yay!

I also broke in my fireplace last weekend. I had some friends over Saturday night, and we made beef stew and had a fire, which was very cozy.

Then on Sunday, my sister and brother-in-law came by and we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with corned beef, cabbage, and (of course) a loaf of sourdough Irish soda bread. 🍀

Did you do anything to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day or the start of spring? I’d love to hear!

In other news, I’ve been having a lot of fun over on Instagram experimenting with different liquids in sourdough.

This week I tried using an unflavored whey protein shake in place of water, and it actually turned out really good. It added about 4g of protein per slice, and the flavor was surprisingly close to a classic loaf.

So today, I’m sharing that recipe along with a few of my favorite savory sourdough loaves for you to try. I hope you find one you love!

P.S. Check out my Recipe eBooks + Resources page for printable sourdough recipes and guides! 📚📝🍞

​High-Protein Sourdough Bread​

Made with unflavored whey for an extra 4g protein per slice.

​Kalamata Olive Sourdough​

Studded with Kalamata olives and flavored with garlic and oregano.

​Sun-Dried Tomato Sourdough​

Loaded with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and parmesan.

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.

Hey Reader, Have you ever tried baking sourdough dough straight from frozen? ❄️🍞 A friend asked me that last week, and I realized I’d never actually tried it myself. So of course, I had to test it out right away. And I was so surprised by how well it actually worked! I shaped the dough, let it sit out for a bit to proof, then froze it overnight. The next morning, I baked it straight from frozen in...
