Cheddar Cheese and Paprika Sourdough

A friend clued me into a new sourdough method that promised to be pretty low effort but still resulted with great bread.

6 Grain Sourdough

I really enjoy using several different flours and grains in a bread to really give it some depth and complexity. With this bread I used six different grains and flours I had in my pantry to come up with a really tasty sourdough. Schedule: I based this loaf off of my sourdough schedule. Since this…

Blue Corn Sourdough

I love the color, crunch and flavor that adding blue cornmeal gives to bread. The longer fermentation and proofing that comes along with sourdough also helps to soften the blue corn a little more than a quick bakers yeast loaf does.

Between battling with varying ambient temperatures, trying to find a culture that ferments consistently and getting my schedule dialed in, there’s a lot to take into account. I’m getting pretty close with this spelt and rye flour recipe though! Schedule: I based this…

Base Sourdough Culture Loaf

I did a side-by-side experiment with my existing sourdough culture (this loaf) and a newly created starter based on a wild cider culture. The actual experiment will be in a separate post, whereas this one simply outlines the results of this culture’s fermentation. Schedule: I based this loaf off of my sourdough schedule. This sourdough…

Wild Apple Cider Yeast Sourdough

A couple years ago I fermented a wild apple cider using only the yeast and bacteria that were naturally on the apples. The cider had a really nice funkiness to it, very similar to French and Spanish ciders. I kept a jar of the yeast and bacteria after I bottled the cider and it had…
