The Sourdough Slice

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

Hey Reader,

I want to tell you a quick little story.

The pink flowers in the picture below are snapdragons. They're one of my favorite flowers, and mine finally started blooming this week!

Earlier this year, when I was plant shopping with my two best friends, I pointed to a small 6-pack of snapdragon seedlings and said, "I've always wanted to grow those."

Both of my friends were like, "...you can?" And I was like, "Wait a minute. Of course I can. I forget I have free will sometimes." 😂

It feels like such a silly little moment, but after spending most of my life putting someone else's needs before my own and being made to question whether the things I want, need, and enjoy are worthy of caring about, this moment really shifted something in me.

Since my breakup over a year ago now, I finally have the space to just be me. And I will never, ever stop being grateful for that.

I'm also incredibly grateful for my endlessly generous neighbors and friends, who helped me turn the maple tree I cut down in May into firewood for my fireplace this past weekend. I can't wait to enjoy my first cozy meal at my dining room table with the fire lit.

Speaking of cozy meals, soup season is here! And what better way to enjoy a delicious bowl of soup than with some sourdough?

So today, I'm sharing five sourdough recipes that pair perfectly with your favorite soup.

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.
