Sourdough recipes have a learning curve, and they can test your patience now and then, but it’s worth the effort.
I’ve been baking with sourdough for years and have worked through the same things that trip up most home bakers: sluggish starters, stubborn dough, and extra discard that needs using up.
In this category, you’ll find naturally leavened recipes and discard recipes that make your sourdough starter pull its weight. From classic loaves to pancakes, pizza dough, muffins, and more, these are the recipes I come back to because they work.
If you’re just getting started, begin with my Dutch oven sourdough bread recipe, then put your extra starter to work with recipes like sourdough discard brownies.
