Hey Reader,

Are you a big coffee drinker? ☕

I can’t start my mornings without a cup. 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… this week I started working on a matcha sourdough bread recipe, and I’m kind of obsessed. It’s earthy, slightly sweet, and a super pretty green color. I’ll be sharing it on the blog soon — but tell me, would you try that flavor combo? 🍵🍞

And since it’s still cold and snowy here, I’ve been in full cozy mode. I spent some time setting up my guest bedroom, and I finally gave my sourdough Dutch oven a deep clean with baking soda. It really needed it. I shared the process on Instagram if you want to see a very satisfying before and after.

All this cold weather has me craving the cozy classics, so this week I’m sharing three sourdough comfort food recipes that hit the spot.

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

​Sourdough Mac & Cheese​

Baked mac and cheese thickened with sourdough discard and topped with sourdough breadcrumbs.

​Sourdough Chicken Pot Pie​

Sourdough-discard thickened chicken and veggie filling enveloped in a sourdough pie crust.

​Sourdough Grilled Cheese:

Classic buttery grilled cheese make on homemade sourdough bread.

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.

A sliced loaf of beer sourdough bread.

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...

A stack of five sourdough discard granola bars.

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, I know I keep talking about the snow, but… wow. 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...

A whole loaf of same day sourdough bread.

The Sourdough Slice 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...
