I’ve been playing around with sprouted whole wheat a lot lately. I’m really digging the fact that like sourdough, sprouted wheat is better for your health and digestion. The sprouting process breaks down enzyme inhibitors, neutralizes phytic acid, and releases vitamins and minerals that make the grain more nutrient dense. Buying sprouted flour is an …
If you love soft chewy pizza crust then you will go gaga for my super chewy, cheesy, sourdough pizza bread. In the words of my husband (who has eaten a lot of pizza over the years) “Pizza Bread Is Life!” If that’s not a good endorsement then I don’t know what is. Seriously though, this …

I had a hard time naming this recipe. I’m still questioning whether calling it raw chocolate chip cookie dough halva bites is fair. It’s not really anything like the flaky traditional tahini halva made with cooked sugar or honey, or like real chocolate chip cookie dough made from flour, sugar, and eggs. Instead the combination …
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.
