    BEST SOURDOUGH BREAD RECIPES

    Here you'll find a selection of sourdough bread recipes you really must try. They are all true sourdough recipes with no added commercial yeast.

    You'll need an active, bubbly sourdough starter to make these sourdough loaves successfully.

    You can find easy instructions to make a sourdough starter here.

    Once you've mastered a simple sourdough loaf, it can be fun to try different flavors and shapes.

    I've put together a collection of both sweet and savory sourdough bread recipes that are sure to tempt an array of different taste preferences.

    From loaves that use coffee instead of plain water to, to spicy loaves studded with jalapeños to loaves sweetened with chocolate, there really is a recipe here for every occasion and taste preference.

    You might even like to try your hand at making a bubbly sourdough focaccia bread sprinkled with fresh rosemary and salt.

    What is Sourdough Bread?

    Sourdough bread is bread that is leavened with "wild yeast" that is naturally occurring, as opposed to using commercial yeast. Commercial yeast has been modified and honed specifically for bread making so it is very reliable.

    Your sourdough starter harbours a colony of naturally occurring yeast that can be coaxed into a schedule - but is somewhat less reliable than commercial yeast.

    That being said, despite its nuances, sourdough bread has a myriad of health benefits that makes the somewhat long process worthwhile.

    And have I mentioned the flavor? It really is out of this world good!

    There are many ways to manipulate the flavor of your sourdough bread, depending on what you like. You could make it less sour or more sour by adjusting the amount of sourdough starter that you use.

    If you've got leftover sourdough bread, these croutons are a great way to use it up without wasting it.

    Baker's Schedule for Sourdough Bread

    One of the most important parts of successful sourdough baking is creating a baking timeline that works for your lifestyle and the hands on time you have available.

    Sourdough bread, while a longer process than commercial yeasted breads, can most certainly be made around pretty much any lifestyle - even the busiest full time work schedule.

    You'll find a tonne of information for scheduling sourdough around your life here and you can find some done for you baker's timelines here.
