I’ve been working on loading my vacation photos, but I have a lot, and my phone is slooowww right now, so today, just for fun, I thought I’d just share some sourdough loaf photos that I already had in my blog’s media file. I have a lot of fun with sourdough and trying new shapes and designs has been a bit of a new hobby for me the past year. I feel as though I am using my art degree and feeding my family at the same time, ha!
The above loaf can either be seen as Christmas trees or leaves–you decide!
Below is a regular sourdough loaf with cherries, honey goat cheese, and dark chocolate folded in. This is a delicious breakfast loaf!
I’ve also enjoyed making seasonal loaves for different holidays. I’m currently working on a new Christmas design, so I’ll be sure and share that in December.
I think one of the big reasons I love sourdough so much is because I get to use tools! I’ve always enjoyed crafting with tools and here are a few I use for the scoring.
This has me thinking that maybe I’ll do another post soon with some detailed instructions from start to finish on feeding the starter, mixing the dough, shaping, scoring, and baking. Any interest?

I would love a sourdough bread post! These loaves are beautiful!
Thank you so much, Cindy! It’s a lot of fun and they freeze so well so I can keep them on hand in the freezer. I’ll look forward to staring a post soon! 🥖💕
Happy Thanksgiving!! 🦃
Alinda, these loaves are beautiful! I make the “old” version of Sour dough, so this is all new to me. I will look forward to your detailed post about how you do this!
Aww, thank you, Denise! I love the “old” version sourdough for that yummy sweet sandwich bread! It makes the prettiest loaves. Yours always look so delicious!!
I would love to read your how-to post!! I have a starter I made myself but I mostly use it for pancakes and English muffins because I just have not gotten the hang of bread making with it!
Hi, Laura! Well you’re off to a great start then!! I promise once you start making loaves you’ll get into a rhythm where it’s just part of your weekly routine as it is with your pancakes and English muffins! 🥞🥯😋
Wow, those are beautiful. You are very talented. I would definitely love to know how you do this.
We so enjoyed seeing you all recently.
Hey, Heidi!! Oh my, we enjoyed seeing y’all too and are looking forward to another future visit! It was so much fun to catch up over dinner with each of you. 🥰 Alrighty, I’ll do a “how-to” post then. Thanks!
Yes! :).
I would love for you to do a detailed blog on sourdough!
Your loaves are so pretty!! 🙂
Hi, Cindy! Thank you SO much! I’m no expert but I think what I can offer is a more relaxed, “home cook” version for the those of us who just want to make simple yet pretty sourdough without it getting too fussy and complicated! 🍞💕
