Cheesy Pull-Apart Sourdough

Me and just about everyone else who has a slight obsession with food jumped on the Sourdough train during quarantine. I have zero regrets about it and Brad [my sourdough starter] is still going strong. Sourdough is so versatile, that’s what makes it so fun. This recipe was inspired from Tik Tok by Morgan Hipworth. For the recipe, I used my homemade sourdough but obviously this can also be done with a store bought loaf.

Ingredients

  • One Sourdough Loaf [homemade or store bought]
  • 1 Block of Cheese, cut into thin slices, I used Monterey Jack because that is all the store had
  • 4 TBSP Butter, melted
  • 2-3 Cloves of Garlic, finely diced
  • Fresh Parsley, finely chopped

Let’s Get Cooking

Preheat the Oven to 375F.

Using a bread knife, cut down into the top of your bread, going horizontally, and vertically. This makes the pieces to pull out.

Take your cheese slices and tuck them into the bread, making sure each pull out piece has cheese around it.

Melt the butter and add in the chopped garlic + parsley. Brush the sourdough with the butter mixture.

Place into the oven for about 5-10 min to get the bread toasty and all the cheese melty. Keep a close eye on it, depending on your oven it may go quicker.

Take out and share with your friends and family immediately. Trust me it’s dangerous.

Always Hungry,

Sourdough Pizza

If you’re like me & every other food lover, you made some sour dough starter during this quarantine. You can make so many delicious things with sourdough starter. I personally love the sour taste so I have been trying to find new ways to use the starter. Recently, I made pizza dough from my starter & omg it’s everything I could have wanted. I got the recipe from Little Spoon Farm, check them out! Enough talking, let’s get cooking.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup/100 g Sourdough Starter (If you don’t have starter, check out the recipe here to make your own!)
  • 2 TSP/10 g Sea Salt
  • 1/3 Cup + 2 TSP/ 50 g Whole Wheat Flower
  • 3.5 Cup + 1 TBSP/ 450 g All Purpose Flour
  • 1.5 Cup/ 375 g Water
  • You’ll also need whatever pizza toppings your heart desires, I’m a cheese and sausage kinda gal but it’s your pizza so you run the show

Let’s Get Cooking

The night before: Add the pizza crust ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Using your hands, mix until all the ingredients are incorporated. Cover the bowl and let it ferment over night at room temp.

In the Morning: wet your hand with water and gently pull one side of the dough up & over its self. Turn the bowl and complete this on all sides.

Cover the bowl and place in the fridge up until about 36 hours until you are ready to bake. You can skip this step if you’d like and get right to cooking!

When you’re ready to eat: remove the bowl from the fridge and let sit for about 30 min.

Divide the dough into 4 pieces on a floured surface, shape the dough into a ball form and let rest for about 30 min. Cover with a towel

Turn the broiler on high and heat up a cast iron skillet. While the skillet is heating up, press the dough into about an 8″ circle (use as much flour as you need)

Remove the skillet once it is hot and place the dough into the skillet. Put on whatever toppings you desire and then place back into the oven for about 5-6 minutes, or until the crust on the bottom begins to char.

Remove from heat, slice it up, & enjoy with friends, family, or just yourself.

Made with Love,

Hannah
