Mom hack: Slice and freeze it so you can pop a piece in the toaster when mornings are hectic.
Whole Wheat Sourdough Bread
Looking for a loaf with a little more fiber but still totally delicious? This whole wheat version has the depth of flavor you love without being too dense or dry.
Perfect for: Hearty sandwiches, avocado toast, or anyone trying to sneak in a little more “wholesome” without sacrificing taste.
Sourdough Pull-Apart Dinner Rolls
These soft, fluffy rolls are the kind that disappear fast—especially when served warm with butter. They’re perfect for holidays, weeknight dinners, or sandwich sliders.
Pro tip: Brush the tops with garlic butter for next-level flavor.
Beginner No-Knead Sourdough Loaf
Brand new to sourdough? Start here. This no-knead version is simple, forgiving, and doesn’t require fancy gear or baker-level skills. Just mix, rest, shape, and bake.
Why it works: It gives you that artisan look and taste—without the sourdough stress.
Sourdough English Muffins
Okay, technically not a loaf—but you’ll want to try these. They’re soft, tangy, and get that perfect golden crunch in the skillet. Split, toast, and load them up with eggs and cheese for a breakfast win.
Kid-friendly idea: Use them as mini pizza bases or for snacky sandwiches.
Sourdough Discard Flatbread
Got discard hanging around? Don’t toss it—turn it into flatbread. This is one of the quickest, easiest ways to use up extra starter and make something delicious for dipping, topping, or snacking.
Great with: Hummus, tzatziki, or just a sprinkle of sea salt and olive oil.
