This will save you time this week! Do you want the easiest sourdough noodle recipe, ever? It’s also super tasty. Sourdough spaetzle. It’s a German-inspired noodle dish that can be ready in the amount of time it takes for water to boil. ⁠ I made this sourdough monkey bread last year for Christmas morning and let’s just say it was a huge hit! Little balls of sweet, tender dough and a delicious glaze makes this bread really live up to it’s name - we kept picking at it all morning long!⁠ It’s the last day of my “5 Days of Christmas Cookies” and we’re wrapping it up with a good one! Gifting sourdough? Then this is for you! The one thing you need to try this holiday season is my sourdough kolache. They are a true family favorite. A light and tender dough filled with cream cheese and jam. Seriously, it couldn't be better. There’s also instructions for making a savory version which is probably my favorite breakfast ever. ⁠ Brown butter, sourdough shortbread is just yummy. The nutty brown butter, the vanilla extract, a little sourdough discard, just a few simple ingredients make some delicious cookies. It’s Day 4 of my 5 Days of SOURDOUGH Christmas Cookies and this is a good one! Need an easy weeknight side to go with your dinner? You’ve gotta to try these sourdough cheddar biscuits. They are filled with sourdough discard and cheddar cheese. That flavor combination together is so good! These sourdough cheddar biscuits are so easy and taste so good that they are in constant rotation at our house. I love pairing them with soup, salad or any meal where we need a little extra something. ⁠ These are the BEST sourdough discard molasses ginger cookies.
