Sourdough Bread Recipes

This page brings all of my classic sourdough bread recipes together in one place so you can choose a recipe that suits your kitchen and your level of experience. These bakes are great for learning dough strength, fermentation and shaping because every small change teaches you something new.

A lean sourdough loaf seems simple. It is only flour, water, salt and starter. The feel of the dough is what makes the biggest difference. Warmer kitchens move faster. Cooler kitchens work more slowly. Some doughs need a little extra folding. Others need more rest. Once you learn what your dough should look and feel like, you can adjust any recipe to work in your space. That is when sourdough becomes enjoyable instead of stressful.

This hub is set up so you can start with the most reliable, beginner friendly options first. Once you feel confident, move into flavoured loaves or artisan styles. Each group teaches you something slightly different, whether that is handling wetter doughs, shaping long rolls or managing ad-ins.
