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!

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.
