The Sourdough Slice

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

Hey Reader,

It's really starting to feel like the end of October here in Massachusetts.

The leaves are vibrant and falling, the garden is looking a bit worse for wear, and there's definitely a chill in the air.

Luckily, some of the flowers in my garden are still holding on! My sister asked me to help make flower arrangements for my niece's baptism this past weekend, so I got to put them to good use. And I'm officially a godmother now, which is so exciting!

While I was out picking flowers, I also stumbled upon a praying mantis who let me hold him for a bit. I love bugs in general, but praying mantises are especially cool to me.

The rest of the week was spent baking a few jalapeΓ±o cheddar loaves for my neighbors, testing some more fall recipes, and starting to think about Halloween.

And since it's coming up so soon, I figured it was the perfect time to share two of my sourdough Halloween recipes from the blog.

I hope you find one you love and enjoy! ☺️

​Halloween Sourdough Bread​

Made with pumpkin puree, black cocoa powder, and chocolate chips!

​Black Cocoa Sourdough Brownies​

Fudgy brownies made with black cocoa and decorated with cream cheese frosting.

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.

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, Fall in New England never ceases to amaze me. Last week, I still needed my air conditioner, and now I'm fighting with myself not to turn on my furnace as my house hits 57℉. With oil prices over $6 a gallon, I have a feeling I'll be using my fireplace a lot this winter. Speaking of my brand-new furnace, I had to have it looked at this week because it wouldn't turn on (luckily, it was an...
