100+ Recipes You Can Make With Sourdough
When I first got into sourdough, I thought it just meant a type of bread.
But it’s really not—sourdough is a leavening agent, just like active dry yeast packets.
But unlike those yeast packets you buy at the grocery store, sourdough is wild, natural, and full of health benefits.
A vibrant sourdough starter is a simple mixture of flour and water, but under a microscope, you’ll find a whole community of wild yeasts and lactic acid bacteria that help baked goods rise.
If you want to cash in on all of the gut-loving benefits sourdough has to offer, here’s a massive list of things you can make with sourdough. And it goes way beyond bread!

Hello you busy lady.. I don’t know how you find all the time to bake like you do.. It always cracks me up hearing the kids in the back ground, TV blaring. Love your new kitchen, looks fabulous.
I’ve got people hooked on the blueberry bread, my favorite.. I’m going to try the wonder bread for my family this week. Plus 2 loaves of Blue berry to take them. They just sold their sail boat and are heading home Sunday after 4 years of sailing. Yes, we were able to get on the boat in the Caribbean and the Bahamas. There is nothing like their oceans over there. Check them out(everdaysaturday) their boat name, my son did a lot of content. My daughter in law baked sourdough bread on the boat all the time. My son landed a a job in Italy doing content for this school. They leave in September for 3 month. His son gets to go to this Nomad school for free and they get a free apartment in Tuscany. Koen is 8 and has been on the boat since he was 4, home schooled. Twins are 14 and to old for the school. Take a look at his page, you’ll be amazed. Thank you for making my SD baking so easy.. Love all your recipes.. Sorry I rambled on. HERE is my question: Did anybody use a lower protein flour on the wonder bread? Did anybody use some Whole wheat mixed?
Some used Costco AP flour and just needed to add a little extra flour to get the texture right! Not sure on whole wheat but I’ll be developing a whole wheat version of this recipe soon!
