When life gives you lard, make sourdough tortillas! I have always used a really nice sourdough tortilla recipe that a friend passed on to me. It calls for flour, starter, butter, lard, salt, water, and baking soda. While I like this recipe, it does not call for proper fermentation of the flour. So I set …
Savory Sourdough
Over the last few years I’ve made it my mission to learn how to make the softest, fluffiest, chewiest, naturally leavened bread with my sourdough starter. This easy sourdough boule is the result of much practice and formula testing. I wanted to keep the recipe very simple and straightforward so that even an amateur sourdough …
It had been over a year since I had pasta of any sort. That just wouldn’t do. Pasta is such a comfort food, it actually feels unsettling to not have pasta for that long a stretch. So I decided to create a pasta recipe that uses all properly prepared grains. I’m passionate about the proper …
You know by now that I’m all about the soaked grains. This sourdough and masa harina cornmeal pizza crust is no exception. This easy crust comes together in a matter of minutes so it’s perfect for those busy weeknights when you don’t have time to prepare a fermented sourdough crust in advance. And the crust …
Every so often I get a real hankering for fried chicken strips! Chicken strips are one of those comfort foods that are so crave-able.

Don’t be afraid to really load these sourdough corn tortillas up with …
Seriously, who doesn’t love cheddar cheese crackers? I know they are a big hit in my family. But one thing I can’t do is bring myself to buy unnaturally orange crackers made with GMO wheat, artificial colors, and questionable ingredients. These sourdough cheddar crackers don’t need to be shaped like perfect squares or little fish …
Sourdough has become the lifeblood of my household, and these crispy, flaky, salty, rustic sourdough butter crackers are no exception. I feel like I’ve finally perfected this recipe, combining the smooth golden flavor of pastured butter with a long fermentation time to yield an easily digestible, artisan wheat cracker made with healthy saturated fat. The …
This is the sourdough stuffing I make every year for the holidays. And every year it never fails to impress us all. When home-baked sourdough bread is used as a stuffing for roasted poultry, it takes on an almost bread pudding-like texture. It’s soft and moist because it does a wonderful job of absorbing all …
I’m not really sure why this recipe for traditionally fermented, butter top sourdough wasn’t the first recipe on my blog. It is by far one of the most, if not the most important recipe in my kitchen. I make at least one loaf of sourdough sandwich bread a week and I haven’t bought bread regularly …
