The Sourdough Files

When I developed my now-beloved sourdough starter back in 2016, I didn’t know how central it would become to my identity in the kitchen. Sourdough is not a flavor, but a leavening method, and there’s no limit to what you can make with it!

Sourdough Bagels!

A perplexing trivia question about the history of bagels inspired me to roll up my sleeves and bake some! With sourdough, of course. 😉

Bacon & Bourbon Waffles

Ditch the boring pancakes and shake up Shrove Tuesday with these sourdough waffles, accented with bacon and bourbon from the inside out!

Sourdough Challah Round

The braiding technique is the easiest thing about these loaves, which are enriched with eggs, citrus-scented olive oil and sweet honey. The recipe takes time, but the reward is as sweet as my wish for you in the Jewish New Year.

Black Forest Cake

My version of “Black Forest” cake has mascarpone cream filling, bourbon-soaked sweet cherries and a rich dark chocolate ganache, all adorning a cake made from—wait, sourdough? Trust me, it’s delicious!

My Favorite Sourdough Sandwich Bread

An interesting technique of pre-cooking a portion of flour makes this naturally leavened bread extra soft and so, so good for sandwiches. I simply love this bread!
