If you’re looking for the perfect homemade gift this Christmas, I’ve got you covered with my 3 favorite sourdough gifts to give over the holidays! Plus, I’m sharing a brand-new recipe and one of my most popular holiday treats.

Recipes Below:

Chocolate Sourdough Bread:  

Ingredients

-550g water
-250g leaven
-750-775g flour (down to 725 if using kamut)
-100g  Dutch process cocoa powder
-85-100g sugar
-25g salt

Directions

mix together water, active leaven, flour, cocoa and sugar. Leave to sit for a half hour. Add salt and do your first stretch and fold.

leave to sit (covered) on the counter for 4-6 hours, conducting either coil folds, slap folds or stretch/folds every 45-60mins (you may be able to extend this toward the end depending how much structure and how well your dough holds together.

divide in half. Spread out each half and add any inclusions you prefer (Chocolate chips etc). Fold up to a round or oval loaf. Place in bannetons, cover and put in fridge at least over night (mine did about 18 hours in the fridge).

score dough cold. Preheat Dutch oven in the oven. Bake at 450 for 23-25 minutes. Remove cover and back for additional 15-17mins (this will obviously vary depending on your oven).

cut into 16 sections as seen in video. Twist away from one another to form the star limbs.
