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. These cookies are so chewy and gooey,…

100% Fresh-Milled Sourdough with Millet Levain

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…

Sourdough Brioche

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…

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…

Sourdough Filipino Pan de Coco

One of my fondest memories of growing up in the Philippines was coming home from school to a basket of fresh-baked pan de coco from one of our local bakeries. These soft, chewy bread rolls with sweet coconut filling were a favorite of mine and one of the foods I missed most after immigrating to…

Black Forest Chocolate Sourdough

Let me start by saying, I absolutely love this bread. Whenever we’re hosting or are invited to a dinner party, this is the loaf I make because it’s always a crowd pleaser. People are often puzzled whenever I bring out this mysterious dark loaf, as soon as I explain to them that it’s chocolate sourdough,…

Sourdough Discard Banana Bread

I’m always on the hunt for good uses for my sourdough discard. I love this recipe because it allows me to use up a large amount of sourdough discard and is a great way to use up overripe bananas. This recipe if a bit of a hybrid, the recipe itself is based on the…
