    Ways To Include Sourdough In Thanksgiving Celebrations

    If you can't commit to a sourdough recipe for Thanksgiving, there are other ways you could include your love for sourdough into Thanksgiving celebrations.

    Here are a few ideas to easily incorporate some sourdough love into this year's Thanksgiving celebrations:

    • Use a batch of these sourdough cornbread muffins for some cornbread stuffing.
    • Use some leftover sourdough bread to make tasty croutons for a salad.
    • Add some sourdough starter to this year's Thanksgiving gravy to thicken it up.
    • Use some leftover sourdough bread to make breadcrumbs and use them in stuffing, for breading chicken or even adding a crispy coating to vegetables.
    • Incorporate homemade sourdough bread into this year's Thanksgiving stuffing - this is the best recipe for sourdough stuffing (or dressing).
    • Why not make a batch of these Sourdough English Muffins the week before Thanksgiving and pop them in the freezer for easy breakfasts.

    If you use your imagination, there's really not much that you can't add a little sourdough love to!

    Thanksgiving Timelines for Sourdough Bread

    When preparing for celebrations like Thanksgiving, it can sometimes be difficult to get the timing of your sourdough bread right.

    If you are wanting to make a delicious sourdough bread to adorn your Thanksgiving table, you'll need to ensure that you bake it with adequate time to cool before trying to cut into it (remember that sourdough hasn't finished cooking until it's cooled to room temp).

    You might want to bake your Thanksgiving sourdough bread the week before (or even longer) and then freeze it.

    You can use these instructions for freezing and refreshing it ready to be served as if you baked it fresh that day.

    These tips for creating a sourdough baking timeline might also help you to schedule your Thanksgiving sourdough baking more easily.
