Sourdough Bread
Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
"Super easy. The hardest part is timing your starter to be ready when you are! I have made it twice now, and both loaves came out perfectly, nice, sour and with big airy pockets in the bread. I made the recipe as is, but divided the dough into two sections, and baked one the following day, with spectacular results. I also sprinkled a bit of coarse sea salt on the second loaf, prior to baking, and was pleased with the end product." — Madhen
Sourdough and Banana Pancakes
"I loved these. My kids didn’t care for the banana, but that didn’t stop them from eating two full batches. The flavor is so unique. I used gluten free ingredients. I simply love this recipe. Thank you for sharing it." — Buckwheat Queen
Sourdough Chocolate Cake
"My family says this is the best chocolate cake they have ever eaten! It is absolutely delicious. We made it in a Bundt pan and topped it with a white chocolate glaze. If we had raspberries it would have been even more amazing." — Aeh
Sourdough Soft Pretzels
"My first time making pretzels so I followed the recipe exactly, except at the end I only buttered half of them. What a great way to do something productive with my sourdough starter discards! Great recipe, thanks!" — Jack Bartx
Sourdough Croutons
"Excellent. I've been making my own croutons from day-old bread for awhile. When I see a loaf of sourdough on the mark-down shelf, I bring it home and make croutons. Seasonings here are spot-on." — Thisni Caza
Sam's Sourdough Waffles
"I have tried many waffle recipes in my life and I am 74 years old. These waffles are the best. They are light, crispy and taste great. I followed the recipe exactly. I love it that I can use my sourdough starter that I keep in my refrigerator." — Wvgirl
Sourdough Pancakes
"Delicious! This was my first recipe to try with sourdough starter, and it was a good intro. The batter was foamy which led to a great texture, and the tangy flavor was a welcome departure from the typical pancake." — Jennifer Dickson
Sourdough Scones
"This was a fantastic tasty way to use up sour dough starter that I had accumulated in my fridge! I definitely recommend adding dried fruit or small cuts of apples because it tastes fancy!" — Betsy Schmid Eisenhut
Rory's Guaranteed Rise Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls
"Best cinnamon rolls I've made yet! Just like my grandmother's! Be sure and measure the cinnamon as I thought sprinkling and covering dough would be sufficient!" — Cathie Carter Noble
Sourdough Rosemary Crackers
"Outstanding flavor with a crunch. The flavor just bursts in your mouth. They are hard to stop eating." — Jill Wood
Sourdough Crêpes
"Yep, this one's a keeper. I've made it several times now and don't usually leave reviews but the no- fail results every time, in a cast iron skillet no less, move me to leave a public thank you for this great recipe!" — Victoria Rego
Sweet Sourdough Cookies
"Very simple to make. This recipes a keeper!" — Gale17
Sourdough Pecan Coffee Cake
"This may be hands-down the best ever coffee cake I’ve ever made. The pinch of sea salt I put in the icing was game changer. I would definitely recommend this being warmed up in the microwave prior to eating it." — MeganM
Sourdough Pizza Crusts
"The best pizza I've ever made! I was skeptical at first because the eight cups seemed to make the initial dough way too stiff. I did add one extra cup of water and let the dough rise in the bowl for an hour. After rolling out, it rose 30 min and was nice, puffy, and chewy after baking. Made 3 pizzas to feed my hungry boys and had 3 left over to freeze." — ShanMerrie
Buttermilk Sourdough Biscuits
"I used buttermilk but other than that followed the recipe to the tee. These biscuits came out amazing! light, airy, and delicious." — Gcowper1961
