Sourdough has become a slight obsession of mine. I’ve noticed that it’s common for people who get into sourdough to get wholly engulfed in working their starters (Tamagotchi, anyone?) and baking delicious bread. Sourdough bread is much healthier than your average store-bought bread and a hundred times tastier. Typically these bread are your typical “bread and butter” types of bread, but I’ve started branching out into the world of add-ins and changing the flavor overall. This is my recipe for chocolate sourdough bread.

Sourdough bread is usually something you’d think of as tangy, not sweet, but this bread takes the whole taste experience in the other direction.

Cheddar is one of the most popular cheeses in the world. It’s a pretty good cheese that fits perfectly with other foods and in a sandwich. Personally, I like cheeses with more taste, so I’ve used sharp cheddar in this recipe. If you don’t like sharp cheese you can substitute it with mild cheddar.

Most people love a good burger and I am absolutely one of them. A great burger requires a great burger bun. The problem is that the store-bought ones are usually just a step up from cardboard. Often when you try to bake your own they seem to turn out a bit heavy and with a hard crust. Enter this brioche burger buns recipe which solves all of those problems.

We love a good burger at home, but we don’t really have any great bakeries around where I live. All you can get is supermarket buns. In the later years, the quality of those buns has actually increased significantly, but it can never compete with an artisan bun made with love.
