With the end of the year quickly approaching, I'm sharing the recipes you loved in 2024.
Over 2 MILLION people visited Make It Dough in 2024!!!
I'm truly grateful for your continued support, enabling me to create new recipes and explore the boundless potential of sourdough. Thank you!
Top posts of the year
Sweets, especially sourdough cookies, reigned supreme this year! Five out of 10 most popular recipes were desserts or sweet sourdough breads.
Although the recipe for my Basic Crusty Sourdough Bread FINALLY made the top 10, the list was still dominated by sourdough discard recipes, especially ones for sourdough discard bread.
The upsets
Some of last year’s favorites, like my Sourdough Pie Crust and Sourdough Discard Biscuits, didn’t make it onto this year’s list. Even my personal favorite—Sourdough Discard Oatmeal Cookies—missed the cut!
Surprise favorite
I'm most surprised by how much you guys loved my recipe for Cream Cheese Crepe Filling! It was the no. 1 most visited page on the site for months. However, since it doesn't contain sourdough I left it out of this year's list.
Personal highlight
One of my favorite recipe highlights this year was creating the fluffiest whole wheat sandwich bread! As part of my collaboration with Mimi's Organic Eats, I developed a Whole Wheat Sourdough Discard Sandwich Bread that’s just as soft and fluffy as my Sourdough Discard Sandwich Bread—only this time, it’s made with 100% whole wheat flour.
Playing with mix-ins
They bring flavor and improve the texture of breads, cakes, and cookies. Sweet potatoes and ube also add vibrant color to baked goods. If you’re curious to try, check out my recipes for Sourdough Carrot Muffins, Sourdough Ube Pan De Coco, and Sourdough Sweet Potato Swirl Bread!
