The Sourdough Slice

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

Hey Reader,

Is your garden full of zucchini yet? 🥒

This summer has been a bit cool and rainy here in Massachusetts, so my garden is running a few weeks behind. I just picked my first couple of zucchini last week—but I know how fast a few can turn into way too many if I don’t keep up!

That’s why I love having a few go-to zucchini recipes on hand.

Every summer, I make sourdough discard zucchini bread, muffins, and double chocolate bread—all moist, flavorful, and perfect for snacks or breakfast.

Whether you’ve got a bumper crop coming in—or you’re just craving something summery and comforting—I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do. 😊

P.S. If you’ve been loving my sourdough recipes, I’d be so grateful if you pinned a few to your recipe board on Pinterest. It helps more people find them - and start their own sourdough adventures too! 💚

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.
Aluminum Muffin Pan - Great for evenly baked muffins with golden brown tops.
Paper Liners - Makes cleanup easier and gives a more bakery-style look.
Dutch-Processed Cocoa - Adds rich, deep chocolate flavor.
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips - For a balanced chocolate taste.
