Hey Reader,

Have you noticed the days starting to feel a bit longer yet? ☀️

Even though it’s only January, I can feel the days slowly starting to stretch just a tiny bit. And honestly, I'm ready for it.

We finally had some sunshine after days of gray, so I soaked it up by spending some time outside with my chickens.

The extra daylight must making them happy too, because they’ve started laying more again. I’m up to about 8 eggs a day now. 🥚

I also made some progress on the room I’m creating for my cats.

My stepdad came over this weekend and helped me put up shelves along the walls so they can climb and perch. Watching them hang in there this week has made me so happy. They’re already obsessed. 💛

Since last week I shared whole wheat sourdough, I thought I’d keep the healthy streak going with a few of my favorite sourdough oat bread recipes. 🌾

Adding soaked oats makes the bread super soft, hearty, and packed with extra fiber. It's great for breakfast, sandwiches, or just enjoying fresh from the oven.

I hope you give them a try and love them as much as I do!

​Sourdough Oatmeal Sandwich Bread​

Soft, fluffy bread perfect for everyday sandwiches or toast.

​Honey Oat Sourdough Bread​

Slightly sweet, hearty bread with a soft, tender crumb.

​Maple Oat Sourdough Bread​

Sweet and nutty bread with a gentle maple flavor baked right in.

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 - Helps you bake beautiful sourdough loaves.
  • ​Aluminum Loaf Pan - For evenly baked 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.

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…...
