If you've been waiting for a sign to try making sourdough pie crust, here it is!🥧


Hi!

I'll keep it short and sweet this time - literally! We're talking about sourdough pie dough today. And if you think pie doesn't deserve its own conversation...I'm sure you'll reconsider when you try SOURDOUGH pie crust.

This week, I have a new guest post on my blog: Chelsea from Little Fisher Farmhouse! And she makes a killer sourdough pie crust. She also made a DETAILED guide about how to make sourdough pie crust, start to finish.

The thing I like most about sourdough pie crust is that it's versatile. If you need any ideas on how you might use it:

  1. Regular pies: You can use sourdough pie dough to make any pie. It gives the pie a slight tang and makes it taste even better. You can also long ferment the pie dough to make it easier on your digestion.
  2. Hand pies: They’re like mini pies you can hold in your hand, and the sourdough adds a nice flavor to them. Whether you make them sweet or savory, they're a unique appetizer!
  3. Pop tarts: Yep, you can even make homemade pop tarts with sourdough pie dough. It’s a fun way to make a homemade version of this childhood favorite. I'm developing the recipe as we speak, and I'll let you know when it'll be available!

What are you using a pie dough for? Have you tried making your own sourdough version of it? I'd love to hear about your experiences!

And as always, hit reply and tell me all about your sourdough struggles. I'll try my best to help you out!

Until next time,

Hey, This week, I’ve been thinking about all the internet rules of sourdough. And I feel like autolyse is one of the first things EVERYONE says you absolutely HAVE TO DO if you want to bake half-decent loaves. It’s not my favorite step—it feels like extra work—but aiming for that better bread keeps me at it. What is autolyse? In a nutshell, it's letting your flour and water hang out before adding the rest. It’s a basic step that helps the dough get better at absorbing water, becoming...

Hi friends! I hope you had a great Easter weekend last week! But I'm also looking forward to this weekend. After all the Easter gatherings, I'm ready for a lazy type of weekend! I’m just popping in really quick this Friday to share my favorite tool for sourdough baking, and it's probably not what you expect: ChatGPT (the free version)! Figuring out recipes: If I want to make bread and know how much flour I’m using but need to adjust everything else, ChatGPT does the math. This comes...

Hey! Last night, I managed to sneak away to the movies with one of my best friends. It’s something I love but rarely do these days, what with small kids and all. Just being able to watch a film from start to finish without interruptions was... I can't even tell you how great it was! It reminded me of how much I enjoy these moments of doing something a bit nostalgic with my friend.
