Recipe by Kristin Cosgrove Naturally leavened cakes made with sourdough are quite different to the sweet style of cakes we’re used to. Sourdough cakes are earthy, less sweet and more satisfying. I love to serve this Sourdough Orange Honey Cake for morning tea with thick, Greek yoghurt and fresh berries. For afternoon tea, a dollop…

Tuna Melt
When I was a kid, every Saturday morning for a few years we used to have breakfast (before it was fashionable to do so!) at our local shopping centre in a cafe called Miss Maud (if you’re from Perth and as old as me, you’ll know this old Swedish cafe). I always ordered a Tuna…
Sourdough Brioche
Recipe by Kristin Cosgrove This Sourdough Brioche is made with dough that has been enriched with butter and eggs, creating a soft and tender loaf that is a pure delight to eat. Brioche can be enjoyed with your favourite spreads, either fresh or toasted. This is a long project, although requires very little hands on…
Double Choc Macadamia Sourdough Cookies
Recipe by Kristin Cosgrove These Double Choc Macadamia Sourdough Cookies are a great way to use up leftover sourdough starter and a great way to reduce waste in the kitchen. I like to add some discard for extra fudgy deliciousness. Of course, you can still make these rich, chocolatey cookies without the discard and they…
Baked Sourdough Donuts
Recipe by Kristin Cosgrove My kids love donuts, so when they recently suggested we try making our own, I thought it might be a good opportunity to create a healthier version of this popular family favourite. These Sourdough Donuts are simple to make and because they are baked in the oven, there is no need…
Earl Grey, Fig and Apricot Sourdough Fruit Loaf

Sourdough Focaccia (Baking Tutorial)
My latest ‘favourite’ bread baking endeavour is Sourdough Focaccia… where have you been all my life?! I’ve always loved focaccia, but the single strain yeast used in most loaves is terrible for my digestion. No-one wants to end up with bloating or discomfort after eating a favourite food, so this may be the way you…
Fig Apricot Walnut Orange Gluten-free Sourdough Loaf
Recipe by Kristin Cosgrove I have never been a fan of fruit bread but this Fig Apricot Walnut Orange Gluten-free Sourdough Loaf has totally won me over. It is a far cry from commercial raisin toast or fruit buns. You will need to create a Gluten-free Starter Culture (which is easy enough to do) and…
Gluten-free Sourdough Loaf & Hamburger Buns
There is something really special about baking sourdough bread. Creating gentle, familiar kitchen rhythms can make time spent cooking for our family easier and even enjoyable. Sourdough baking has its own rhythm. If we practice, it doesn’t seem so much like a recipe but more like something we just do in and around family life….
Fudgy Sourdough Chocolate Brownies
These Fudgy Sourdough Chocolate Brownies are a very decadent way to use up discarded sourdough starter. They aren’t an every day snack, more of a celebration treat. Seeing we are welcoming new members into the family, and with Father’s Day coming up, I thought I’d better fast-track this simple recipe. I’ve been working on producing…
Spelt Sourdough Loaf
I’ve been asked to develop a 100% spelt loaf and here it is. If you are really wheat sensitive this is your best option in sourdough. When I started my sourdough journey I started with spelt right off the bat and really struggled to produce a good loaf, they were always super dense. Frustrated, I…
Olive Rosemary Garlic Sourdough
This Olive Rosemary Garlic Sourdough is a new favourite variation on my Basic Loaf. If you like olives, rosemary and garlic, you’ll love this. Check out the variations (below the main recipe) for suggestions to alter the recipe to suit your specific dietary requirements….
Seeded Sourdough Loaf
This Seeded Sourdough is a variation on my Basic Sourdough Loaf. It’s really delicious and super satisfying too. The addition of the seeds adds extra nutrition and flavour to the basic loaf. Once you feel confident baking the Basic Sourdough, this is well worth a try….
Sourdough Flat Breads
This Sourdough Flat Breads recipe is the simplest way to use up your sourdough discard. My family just loves these and they do come in handy when I make soup and we fancy a slice of bread, but I’m without. Making these is a lot cheaper and quicker than running to the bakery for bread,…
Basic Sourdough Loaf (Baking Tutorial)
I’ve been making sourdough loaves on and off for a couple of years (more off than on in the last year or so sadly). But these last few weeks of being housebound (Covid-19) I’ve had a good solid run of bread baking and my 12 yr old has got really involved in the process too…
