Introduction
Sourdough is very versatile. Many love preparing sourdough bread, but you can use your sourdough starter to make many dishes. From sweet to savory sourdough has a way of increasing the flavor and the nutrients in your meal. The dishes below are ones that my family has thoroughly enjoyed and ones that we continue to make. The more I have baked with sourdough, I see that the options are endless with what you can prepare. The hope is that these pictures would inspire you to try something new with your starter and enjoy the beautiful creations you can prepare for your family.

2. Sourdough Hamburger Buns
We rarely prepare burgers but as we headed to the beach this summer, we thought this would be a great time to enjoy one. No store-bought bread here! If we are going to make a burger let’s, make the bread as well. I got this recipe from one of the sourdough queens online, Farmhouse on boone. Lisa, the creator of Farmhouse on Boone has many recipes that have inspired me to try something different that always turns out delicious.
These buns are great for burgers, sandwiches to go into your children’s lunch box, avocado/hummus toast, and more.

With a few repeatable recipes and some flexible ingredients, you can feed your family, keep your sanity, and maybe even enjoy it along the way.
Remember: frozen veggies, paper plates, and shortcuts are part of a well-fed, well-loved home.
