Hearth and Loaf Sourdough enthusiast connecting through the craft of sourdough! My mind always loves a new creative adventure - and lately, that's been sourdough!

I'm a Northern VA mother of three (now an empty nester!) who found unexpected joy in the art of healthy, delicious bread. I've loved exploring different flavors, experimenting with starters and sharing what I've learned with friends and family. I'm a sourdough enthusiast, not a sourdough savant . . . but I'm a pro at sharing my triumphs and disasters ;)

Sourdough really fits every style and budg

et. You can start with some flour, water and time or dive into specialized tools and flours. No matter what your level, I hope you'll find this as a page to learn, share and celebrate your new loaves! I (sometimes) will share affiliate links to support my page and sourdough adventures. This means I might earn a small commission if you purchase something I recommend, but it will be at no extra cost to you. I only promote products I truly believe in and use myself.

Hello Everyone! I initially created this Page to share my sourdough knowledge and tips with friends. I soon recognized the value of fostering a closer-knit community, which led me to create a FB Group - it provides a more private and convenient space for sharing ideas and engaging in discussions. If you’ve already gained the knowledge you need, no worries, but I’m thrilled to continue our convos there. From now on, all discussions will be in the Group, and I won’t be posting convos on the public page anymore - thanks! Link in Comments.

This is one of my favorite sourdough discard recipes inspired by LittleSpoonFarm—Chocolate Chip Scones! I’ve made these countless times for gatherings or as holiday treats. They are moist and flavorful and a hit every time. I highly recommend trying them out! Here’s the recipe: https://littlespoonfarm.com/chocolate-chip-sourdough-scones-recipe/

🥖🌟 TIP: I usually add 3 ice cubes to each loaf I bake right on the sides underneath the parchment. Putting ice cubes in a preheated Dutch oven when baking creates steam inside. The steam helps to keep the crust of the bread moist during the initial stages of baking, which allows the bread to expand fully before the crust sets. This can result in a better rise and a crispier crust on the finished loaf. The ice cubes melt pretty quickly in the oven. Try it!

🥖📸: Show me your loaf! Many of you have texted me beautiful pics of your loaves - I would love if you would consider sharing a pic of your bakes this week - even if they didn’t come out as planned. And BTW, this was MY first loaf when I started 😆
