    Nuts, and Seeds<\/h3>\n

    For a little crunch and protein try a variety of dried fruits, nuts, and seeds to throw into the mix. Choose between walnuts, raw or toasted pecans, pistachios, pine nuts, silvered almonds<\/a>, shelled pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, or poppy seeds<\/a><\/strong>. Nuts and seeds pair beautifully with dried fruits, shredded cheese, or dried herbs.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Simply start by mixing all your ingredients into a large mixing bowl, or stand mixer, and combine until you\u2019re left with a silky-smooth dough. <\/li>\n
    2. Next, add the nuts and seeds, kneading until they\u2019re well incorporated. <\/li>\n
    3. Transfer the dough onto a greased or floured surface and shape the dough into a thick log. Place the log onto the bottom of lightly greased parchment paper.<\/li>\n
    4. Cover the loaf and let this rise for an hour. After this, set your oven temperature to 400 degrees F and bake your bread for 40 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Chocolate Chips<\/h3>\n

      For all chocolate lovers, the possible inclusion of chocolate chips should be enough to make anyone\u2019s mouth water. Chocolate is the perfect addition to any recipe, especially basic sourdough bread. <\/p>\n

      Add chocolate chips, or chocolate chunks, followed by nuts, cinnamon, and dried fruit for a fun, sweet, and savory treat. <\/p>\n

      Enjoy delicious and easy chocolate sourdough bread<\/strong><\/a>, for breakfast or teatime coupled with a glob of butter (perhaps even homemade butter<\/a><\/strong>!), and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.<\/p>\n

      I\u2019ve also got a cinnamon and chocolate twist<\/a><\/strong> bread recipe!<\/p>\n

      Jalapeno Cheddar Cheese<\/h3>\n

      Jalapeno combined with cheddar cheese is already a wonderful combination, so imagine what\u2019ll happen when you add these magical flavors to your sourdough! You can customize this however you like. Add lots of jalapenos for a spicy kick, or fewer jalapenos, and lots of cheese for a cheesy treat!<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Simply add your jalapeno and cheddar cheese to your sourdough once you\u2019ve completed your third set of stretching and folding. <\/li>\n
      2. Stretch your dough into a rectangle, then spread cubes of cheese and sliced jalapenos inside the dough, remembering to leave the edges clear. <\/li>\n
      3. Let the dough bulk rise, for 5-6 hours. <\/li>\n
      4. Then shape and bake your dough in a preheated Dutch oven<\/a><\/strong> at 475 degrees F.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Olives<\/h3>\n

        If you\u2019re a fan of olives, then why not combine your love for these briny fruits with sourdough bread? A delicious sourdough bread, complete with an array of olives sounds like the perfect breakfast treat to satiate your growling stomach. <\/p>\n

        Before you stretch and fold your sourdough, why not add a handful of chopped Kalamata olives<\/a> to the mix? The delicious sourdough flavors will include a briny kick to this basic bread recipe.<\/p>\n

        \n
        \"15<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

        Nutritional Yeast<\/h3>\n

        Nutritional yeast<\/a> provides a mild cheesy flavor to the sourdough bread, without having to add cheese to the dough. It\u2019s simple, delicious, and vegan-friendly! <\/p>\n

        Simply add a teaspoon or two of nutritional yeast, then let the dough rest before you continue with your sourdough recipe!<\/p>\n

        Sun Dried Tomato<\/h3>\n

        With their low-moisture content, sun-dried tomatoes make the perfect flavorful addition to any sourdough recipe. This scrumptious flavor combination ties the tartness of sourdough together with the rich sweetness of hydrated tomatoes. <\/p>\n

        Once your dough is ready to proof, drop 40g of sun-dried tomatoes with 60g of feta, then top with a dash of dried oregano if you wish.<\/p>\n

        Fresh Herbs<\/h3>\n

        If you\u2019re an avid baker, you\u2019ll most probably have a pantry loaded with a variety of fresh herbs and spices, and that\u2019s the perfect addition to any sourdough bread recipe! <\/p>\n

        Choose from sage, thyme, oregano, and rosemary to tickle your taste buds into ultimate sourdough oblivion!<\/p>\n

        Roasted Garlic<\/h3>\n

        If you love garlic bread, wait till you\u2019ve tried garlic sourdough bread. The best way to include garlic in any sourdough bread recipe is by thinly slicing cloves, sprinkling garlic powder, or dropping whole roasted cloves of garlic into your dough. This way, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy the raw powerful richness of garlic without having to minimize its flavors through numerous cooking techniques.<\/p>\n

        Alternatively, roasting a head of garlic produces sweeter flavors as opposed to raw garlic cloves and their overpowering taste. If you want to try this scrumptious flavor combination, check out this garlic sourdough bread<\/strong><\/a> recipe!<\/p>\n

        \n

        Pesto<\/h3>\n

        If you\u2019ve ever considered adding a dribble of pesto to your sourdough bread, then why not add a few spoonfulls directly to the dough instead? <\/p>\n

        Since pesto is a wet ingredient you may want to reduce some of the water in your recipe so that your dough doesn\u2019t become extremely hydrated and hard to handle.<\/p>\n

        I have a great pumpkin seed pesto<\/a><\/strong> recipe you can try!<\/p>\n

        Honey and Oat<\/h3>\n

        Another delicious flavor combination involves sourdough bread featuring fragrant honey and crisp oats, which makes the perfect breakfast treat. It is extremely versatile and requires an active sourdough starter, honey, and oats. <\/p>\n

        If you\u2019re looking to delight your gut, then try this sourdough bread with a glob of butter, and a steaming mug of tea or coffee.<\/p>\n

        Mushrooms<\/h3>\n

        Velvety mushrooms are certainly amazing, though they tend to release lots of water whilst cooking. Because of this, you must cook your mushrooms in a pan beforehand, ensuring they shrivel up and dry before they can be included in your sourdough.<\/p>\n

        On the other hand, if you prefer a subtler mushroom flavor then you can choose the easier option and incorporate 50g of dried mushroom powder into your dough instead.<\/p>\n

        Zucchini<\/h3>\n

        For a flavorful combination that produces a cakey textured bread, try this amazing sourdough zucchini bread recipe<\/strong><\/a>. When preparing your zucchini for your sourdough, ensure all the moisture has been squeezed out of the vegetable, so that the baked loaf doesn\u2019t emerge incredibly moist.<\/p>\n

        Additionally, you can take this recipe a couple of steps further and include chocolate chips, dried cranberries, crushed walnuts, or cocoa powder, for a fantastic sourdough bread bursting with a variety of flavors, that\u2019ll delight your taste buds.<\/p>\n

        Dried Fruit<\/h3>\n

        For a fruity treat, consider adding raisins, cranberries, dried cherries, dried apricot, or dried apples to your sourdough bread. Don\u2019t forget to add a sprinkling of cinnamon and lots of honey too!<\/p>\n
