Ever so often, my sourdough starter, George, drives me to inspired kitchen moments. This ravishing Sourdough Olive and Sage Loaf is one of them. If you love baking with sourdough, you know that one of the things that makes it so special is the journey itself. With sourdough, you can be sure that you will be surprised at every stage of the bread-making process. Pleasantly. With most breads, the rising is done by the time you put your loaf in the oven. But with sourdough, the loaf you pull out of your oven will look very different from the loaf you put inside it. Because within the 45 minutes or so that it bakes, all of those wonderful bacteria in sourdough and the gases they produce would have worked their magic, making your loaf bigger, puffier, and way more delicious than you thought possible. If you don’t yet have a batch of sourdough sitting in your refrigerator, what are you waiting for? You can find step-by-step instructions for making a sourdough starter here, and if you do decided to get one going, it’s a decision you’ll never regret. Check to get new recipe updates by email.
I added a ton of deliciousness to this loaf, by way of olives, pepper, sage, and garlic, because I wanted a full-flavored bread. This loaf is so delicious, in fact, that you might find yourself tearing chunks of it and stuffing it into your mouth. And it makes great toast too– Jay loves it toasted till its golden and crisp, with some vegan butter spread on it.
