Sourdough Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Drizzle
It may seem strange to put sourdough and chocolate together but when you try these, you will be sold. This recipe was adapted from a King Arthur Baking company recipe to make it dairy free, oil free, egg free and lower in sugar. I was intrigued because there is always starter discard that you don’t want to waste. This one is the perfect marriage of moist rich sourdough and deep dark chocolate. -
Rustic Whole Wheat Bread with Sourdough Starter
This recipe is fast to make and as an optional twist, there is 70 grams of sourdough starter in it to give it some additional flavour. The recipe was inspired by Emile Henry and is made in their ceramic large loaf baker with lid. These ceramic pans simulate a steam oven when baking bread with a beautiful crust.

This version of Cinnamon Cherry Spiced Sourdough Bread has no oil, no dairy and no eggs. Sourdough made from whole wheat flour and no oil or sugar retains all the flavour and increases the health profile, making it a great addition to breakfast or maybe anytime. -
Plant-Based Whole Wheat Rye Crackers with Sourdough Starter
This Vegan Sourdough Whole Wheat Rye Crackers recipe was inspired by @klaracard on Instagram. I've used a Rye starter but if you wish, you can use a white flour starter. -
Pain au Levin (Sourdough Bread)
You must have a mature Sourdough starter for this recipe. This will take 7+ days depending on your temperature and humidity. Why Sourdough? It is naturally leavened, in other words, no added yeast. This type of bread has ancient roots. Today people like it because it tends to be more digestible and often uses more ancient grains not genetically modified. This leads to a tasty more healthy bread. But it is challenging so be patient. It takes time to get the starter ready and the leavening times are longer than regular yeast breads. -
Sourdough Pizza Crust
I am always looking for ways to use Sourdough, as I love the slightly acidic taste and the chewy nature Sourdough has. For this pizza crust, I have used my trusty Sourdough starter and King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour, its really great twist on traditional pizza dough.
