Seriously Yummy Strawberry Scones

You HAVE to try this delicious sourdough carrot cake bread. It’s one of my favorite sourdough discard recipes this time of year. A loaf of spiced, carrot cake quick bread made with sourdough discard and perfect for any carrot-cake lovers. Add nuts or leave them out, this recipe is easily adaptable to your family favorites. One of my favorite parts is the creamy, cream cheese based topping that adds a delicious sweetness to that moist loaf of carrot cake bread. It’s the weekend and the start of spring break for our family 🌸🌼🌷which makes me extra happy and craving some sunshine 🌞. I’ll put a box in my stories to answer any of your questions, so check it out if you have a question or if I can help you on your sourdough (or baking) journey. Not to be dramatic but this may be my favorite combination with sourdough artisan bread. Sweet craisins and nutty pecans baked into an artisan loaf is a flavor I’m happy to eat year round. I especially love it toasted with some melty butter 🤤 I don’t know who needs to see this but…here is a visual for what a #sourdoughstarter looks like as it goes through its fermentation cycle. I fed this starter a 1:1:1 ratio (equal weights starter/flour/water) and kept it at 78 degrees F. If I switched up the ratio the timing would be different but the signs would be the same: Ready for spring? Then this is for you! Delicious Strawberry Sourdough Babka Buns are made entirely with natural yeast sourdough. These light and airy buns are filled with a simple and sweet strawberry filling that is perfect for brunch or a snack in the sun. Enjoy the fresh taste of strawberries with these irresistible buns. Unpopular opinion 🙈 but I LOVE unsalted butter on a slice of warm #sourdoughbread. I took a poll in my stories and salted butter was a pretty clear winner…but now I want to know, where are my fellow unsalted butter lovers?! This might shock you but I keep almost all of our extra homemade bread in the freezer. I let it sit on the counter for a day or two (I shoot for 24 hours) and then slice it all up and freeze it. Does it sometimes stick together? Sometimes. If it does, I’ll just pull out a few extra slices and let them thaw before using them over the next couple days. I reuse bread bags or ziplock bags and make sure to squeeze all the air out before putting my sliced bread into the bags and freezing. No burger buns? No problem! I whipped up a batch of homemade buns this weekend for our pulled pork sandwiches. They were soft, delicious, and oh-so-easy to make. 😍🍔. Feeling frustrated with sticky dough? Try using a Danish Dough Whisk! I used to always mix sourdough bread together with my hands. The result: dough got mixed but my fingers were a sticky mess.
