Sunflower & Honey Sandwich Bread 🌻
My heart has ached this week, at the approach of today’s one-year anniversary of Russia’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine.

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!

After a personal, VIP-style tour of a world-class pizzeria in New Haven, Connecticut, I came home feeling pretty good about what I’m getting right making pizzas at home!

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!

Sourdough Onion & Sage Bread
The generous amounts of onion and sage I’ve added to this loaf make it perfect for Thanksgiving stuffing or dressing, and you’ll probably want to have an extra loaf on hand for leftover turkey sandwiches, too.

Sourdough Pumpernickel
Freshly-milled rye grain teams up with my sourdough starter and some crumbs from an old bread to create a super-flavorful pumpernickel. It’s my way of celebrating “National Flour Month!”
