Homemade bread recipes from scratch — sourdough loaves, quick breads, soft dinner rolls, and pizza dough. The from-the-oven staples that anchor the Longstreth table.
Sourdough for beginners can feel like the most intimidating thing in the kitchen — all those rules about feeding schedules and hydration and bubbles, and a whole internet of people who make it look effortless. I promise you it is not as hard as it looks. I came to sourdough as a complete beginner who…
Four Ingredients, Free Willy 2, and a Loaf Jason Looks Forward To Every Week This whole wheat sourdough bread is the loaf I bake about once a week so Jason has a wholesome whole grain option for his Mediterranean diet — and somehow, in the process, I ended up with a sourdough starter named Free…

The Recipe I Almost Kept to Myself I’ll be honest with you — this banana bread recipe almost didn’t make it to the blog. My mama’s banana bread is something I am deeply, emotionally attached to. I grew up eating it, I make it for my kids now, and in all honesty? I think this…
