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

Hey Reader,

I know I probably sound like a broken record at this point… but your sourdough girl is officially ready for warmer days over here. 😅

This past week it felt like winter looked at me and said, “Oh, you think you’ve got this? That’s cute.”

I got caught in a snowstorm driving home from my sister’s baby shower, my furnace broke on a literal 0°F day, it dramatically backfired while being fixed (everyone’s okay, thankfully!), and one of my chickens somehow managed to wedge herself into a snowy spot that required a mini rescue mission.

But regardless, the baby shower was a lovely success. It was so special celebrating my sister and my soon-to-be niece with everyone there. 🎀🩷

And because I cope with life by baking, I ran a fun little experiment twice this week: starting sourdough in a cold Dutch oven vs. a preheated one. I shared my results over on Instagram (spoiler: preheated still wins in my kitchen).

Speaking of Instagram, I shared a reel last week showing how to make a full loaf of sourdough in just one day — about 10.5 hours total for me, from feeding my starter in the morning to pulling the bread out of the oven that night. It took off more than I expected, so I turned it into a full blog post… and now I’m sharing it with you today.

It’s perfect for those days when you want fresh sourdough without the usual two-day timeline. I hope you give it a try and love it as much as I do! 🍞⏰

​Same Day Sourdough Bread​

Ready in just one day, this loaf uses double the starter as my basic recipe to speed things up.

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, Do you usually make your sourdough loaves with bread flour or all-purpose (or something else)? In most of my recipes, I recommend bread flour by default. But recently I realized something — I had never actually done a true side-by-side comparison myself to see how much of a difference it really makes. So this week I decided to run a little experiment. I made two loaves exactly the same...

This last storm was no joke. ❄️ Here in my part of Massachusetts, we ended up with over 30 inches on top of what was already on the ground. Tuesday was basically spent shoveling myself and the chickens out. I was really grateful that I was only without power for about 36 hours. And that there wasn’t any major damage to my home. The chicken...

I’ve been making pour over coffee in my Chemex for over 11 years now… and I finally cracked it on Wednesday. Totally my fault. I had it sitting too close to the burner. Oops! But it’s already been replaced, and I took it as a good excuse to treat myself to a brand new water kettle too. Speaking of morning drinks…...
