A Very Cheesy Sourdough Situation


Hello Reader,

Today’s email is brought to you by cheese, garlic, sourdough, and the firm belief that savoury bakes deserve more spotlight.

I’ve got a new recipe on the blog, and it’s a good one:

Sourdough Cheese and Garlic Rolls

Think cinnamon rolls, but savoury. Soft sourdough dough, rolled up with garlic butter and cheese, baked until golden, gooey and entirely impossible to leave alone.

They are perfect with summer BBQs, big salads, soups, picky bits dinners… or, let’s be honest, eaten straight from the baking tray while pretending you’re “just checking the texture”.


And while we’re leaning fully into cheesy sourdough, here are two more favourites:

Sourdough Parmesan Crackers

Made with 100% sourdough discard and no added flour, which still feels smug in the best possible way. Thin, crisp, cheesy and brilliant for picnics, lunchboxes and snack boards.

Jalapeño Cheddar Sourdough Focaccia

Chewy, golden, cheesy, a little spicy and very good for tearing apart with your hands. Serve it with BBQ food, chilli, salads, dips, or just call it dinner and move on with your life.

So if your starter is bubbling and your fridge has cheese in it, this is your sign.

Make something savoury.
Make something garlicky.
Make something that makes the kitchen smell outrageous.

Hello Reader, My discard jar has hit that point where it's less "useful byproduct" and more "passive-aggressive reminder that I haven't baked bread in five days." So this week it's going into cake. Three of them, actually. SOURDOUGH LEMON BLUEBERRY LOAF CAKE SOURDOUGH PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE SOURDOUGH COURGETTE (ZUCCHINI) QUICK BREAD First up, the Lemon Blueberry Sourdough Cake. Properly lemony, not vaguely-citrus lemony, packed with blueberries that mostly stay where you put them, and...

Hello Reader, Lately, I’ve been in a bit of a focaccia frenzy. Fluffy, golden-edged sourdough topped with… well, just about anything I can get my hands on. From herbs and olive to sweet figs and honey — it’s the easiest way to keep your sourdough baking exciting (and your dinner table full of showstoppers). But the crown jewel? My Sourdough Almond Croissant Focaccia. Yes, you read that right. It’s hands-down the most exciting thing I’ve baked in 2025 so far — and I can also safely say I won’t...

Hello Reader, If the whole boule shaping + Dutch oven + fancy gear thing has been making you quietly panic... you’re not alone. And here’s the good news: You can bake sourdough in a regular loaf tin. It’s a brilliant option for beginners, especially if you’re still building up your shaping confidence — or just not quite ready to splash out on a Dutch oven and banneton baskets! The result? A crusty, sandwich-ready sourdough loaf with all the tang and chew, minus the fuss. Want to give it a go?...
