sourdough-obsessed home baker
I have a confession, I’ve been the worst sourdough mom and even worse blogger lately. I originally started baking bread and blogging after quitting my full-time job in August of 2018. I lost my passion for my profession (public relations), wanted to take a break and reassess the direction I wanted to take my career….
Nothing says summer like hamburgers (or veggie burgers). Once you make homemade sourdough buns yourself, you won’t be able to go back to those plastic-wrapped packs at the store. Full sourdough hamburger buns was the chosen #groupbake challenge, by the Sourdough Bread Baking group Facebook for the month of June. Unlike previous challenges, this time…
I guarantee this is THE SOFTEST, FLUFFIEST sandwich loaf you’ll ever make! This bread is the ultimate crowd pleaser, it’s perfect for every occasion and you can enjoy it with both savory and sweet toppings. There are times when only a plain white sandwich loaf will do. What sets this recipe apart from other recipes…
This pineapple upside down-cake is so moist, soft and tender with a delicious caramel topping that’ll make you wonder why people bother with frosting at all. Pineapple upside-down cake is a favorite in my household so I really wanted to get this recipe right. I wanted to incorporate my sourdough discard in the recipe because…

This is my ultimate favorite way to use up my sourdough discard. Just like baking bread, I was always intimidated by making fresh pasta. It seemed really difficult until I finally tried it myself and now I never want to eat the boxed stuff! When I started keeping my sourdough starter, like many others, I…
Sourdough Bread Baking, a sourdough bread making support group I am a member of on Facebook started a new baking challenge in the beginning of April. Each month, the page admins will choose a new group bake, participation is not mandatory but is a fun exercise meant to both teach new techniques and challenge members…
I always have TONS of discard because I absolutely refuse to keep my starter in the fridge. Whenever my discard jar gets dangerously full, I always make this recipe for sourdough discard oatmeal cookie because I know they’ll get eaten up and finished within 1 or 2 days. These cookies are so chewy and gooey,…
A few weeks ago, I had the great pleasure of meeting Paul Lebeau, managing director of Wolfgang’s Mockmill, who was visiting Las Vegas for the first ever Artisan Bread Expo. I wasn’t able to attend the event, but Paul was kind enough to take some time out of his busy day to sit down with…
A friend of mine was visiting from San Francisco, and she told me one of her favorite breads is brioche. I’ve made other enriched breads before, like my Sourdough Hazelnut Chocolate Babka, but never this French classic. I honestly cannot believe how well this bread turned out, it was rich, soft, buttery, and shred-able, basically…
