🌾 Whole Wheat Sourdough Recipes You’ll Love This Winter

Hey Reader,

Do you ever get the post-holiday “winter blues”? I sure do.

Massachusetts has been extra cold, gray, and snowy this year, and some days it’s hard to stay motivated. ❄️

But last weekend reminded me just how important it is to notice the little joys in life, especially this time of year.

My friends came over for dinner (we made soup!) and we spontaneously went ice skating on my backyard pond.

Snow-covered ice, a sunset sky, and a couple of deer. It was peaceful and so simple, but exactly what I needed.

I’ve been leaning into cozy indoor projects too, like giving my cats their own little bedroom.

And of course, there’s been plenty of sourdough baking.

Since it’s January, I’m trying to eat a little healthier. Not by giving up bread, of course, but by choosing more whole grains.

If that sounds good to you too, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite whole wheat sourdough recipes from the blog.

I hope you find one (or two!) you’ll love! 💛🍞

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.
  • ​Cast Iron Skillet - Perfect for English muffins and pitas.
  • ​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...

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...

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…...
