The Sourdough Slice

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

Hey Reader,

Do you bake bread to sell, or mostly just for fun and for your family to enjoy?

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 asked for a parmesan rosemary loaf and a jalapeño cheddar loaf. I even used some of the peppers from her garden in the jalapeño cheddar, and let's just say... they were spicy!

I also got to spend some time with my niece, celebrate my sister's birthday, and buy myself a few more plants for my perennial garden (I really can't be stopped).

One thing I'm especially excited about this week is my new cookie scoop. Such a small thing, I know, but I always told myself I didn't need one. Now that I finally have one, though, it's so satisfying seeing all those perfectly sized little scoops lined up on a baking sheet. And with fall and holiday baking season getting closer, I have a feeling it's going to get plenty of use!

Speaking of fall baking and cooler weather, one of my favorite meals this time of year is a big bowl of chili with cornbread on the side.

So today, I'm sharing both my sourdough cornbread and sourdough corn muffin recipes for you to enjoy with your favorite chili.

I hope you give 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.
• ​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.
