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…

Sourdough Danish Pastries
Buttery, flaky danish pastries naturally leavened with sourdough and no commercial yeast. This isn’t a quick and easy recipe but the thin and crispy layers of butter and pastry are well worth the effort.
Sourdough Discard Pasta
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…

Chewy Sourdough Discard Oatmeal Cookies
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.

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…
Roasted Garlic Rosemary Olive Oil Sourdough
When I’m craving a savory bread, I always revert back to this classic flavor combination. I don’t think I need to go into what makes this tandem so perfectly matched, but the aroma of sweet roasted garlic, and earthy warmth of rosemary may have something to do with it… This was the first time I’d…
Sourdough Bread Cold Bulk and Overnight Autolyse Method
Change is good, at least when it comes to my new method for baking sourdough bread. Admittedly, I was very apprehensive about changing up my sourdough baking process, but after a string of high hydration flat loaves I knew I had to make some changes if I wanted to enjoy the soft texture and airy…
Hazelnut and Orange Sourdough Discard Biscotti
Since posting a photo of these biscotti on my instagram, I’ve gotten so many requests for the recipe. I adapted this biscotti recipe from Sarah Owens’ book Sourdough, a great book for both beginner and advanced sourdough bakers. Her book includes great bread recipes with unique flavor combinations like her Butternut Squash and Cherry Bread…
