Making bread with a sourdough starter is usually lean bread. Don’t get me wrong, those are great. I love a wonderful sourdough bread with a crunchy crust, a chewy crumb, great tang, and a super developed taste. Sometimes you’d like something else. Something sweet. Something chocolaty. This is my recipe for a sourdough babka with a chocolate filling.

Baking enriched doughs with a sourdough starter is a bit next level. At the beginning of my sourdough career, I had a hard time with these types of doughs, simply because I underestimated how long you need to ferment a dough like that.

You love bread but worry that you may be overeating the good stuff like most others. Staying healthy is all about moderation, variety, and getting your fiber. An excellent source of fiber is whole grains, plus they have lots of minerals and vitamins that are good for you, but whole-grain bread? It’s that hard, tough stuff that tastes like cardboard, right? Well, not if done right. Using spelt gives it outstanding nutty notes and a perfect sandwich crumb. This is my recipe for a whole-grain sourdough spelt loaf.

I have many recipes with spelt flour, and I like it, but this is the first time I’ve ever tried to make a recipe with whole bread using spelt—not just regular spelt flour, but coarse whole grain. I was surprised at what a great bread you can produce using this. It’s not at all like the whole-wheat stuff our Moms tried to get us to eat when we were kids.

It’s super easy and convenient, and those are fine, but if you want to take pigs in blankets to the next level you should try my sourdough pigs in blankets recipe. They are the bomb.

Pigs in blankets exist all over the world. They are not particularly American or Danish, although they probably originated in the United States.

Some of the more funny names that exist are:

  • German: Würstchen im Schlafrock, meaning small sausage in a dressing gown.
  • Isreal: Moshe Ba’Teiva meaning Moses in a basket.
  • Denmark: Pølsehorn, meaning sausage horns.
  • Mexico: Salchitaco meaning sausage taco.

Here’s my recipe for sourdough pizza bread.

Pizza is one of the most universally beloved foods. Probably because it contains bread and cheese and it can be infinitely varied by changing the toppings. So that of course means that everything that tastes like a pizza, is awesome. That is how this bread came to light.
