7 years ago in July I caught a wild yeast “sourdough” starter. After babying it along for a few weeks it my little starter became strong and healthy. For 7 plus years it’s served me well!
Over the years my starter has went on several trips. I’ve taken it camping a few times, for weekend visits at friends or family, it wintered in Oklahoma with us last year and then road-tripped with us, cozy in the cooler, for almost 3 weeks while we went through Texas, California and then back to Wyoming.
While trekking with our sourdough we’re often making pancakes, crepes or other simple treats. Grilled pizza while camping, pancakes on the road, homemade bread made for family — Yum!
We’re now settled in our off-grid cabin and still loving sourdough at home. We’re oven-free at the moment so I’m not baking but many sourdough treats can be made in a skillet.

Check out a few of my favorite sourdough recipes below.
Each of the recipes I share below includes preparing the flour/grain for maximum digestion by giving the dough a good long soak before cooking/baking. This makes the sourdough so much healthier!
Sandwich Bread
This makes a very nice sandwich bread, light and fluffy, with minimal hands-on time. Go here for recipe.
Chocolate Cake

Crackers
So good! When I make these I do a double batch since we love them so much. I’m working on a stove top version so we can satisfy our cracker needs without an oven.

Friday night was often pizza night at our house. We started with homemade sourdough pizza crust and then topped with whatever we had on hand. Now we often do pizza on the grill by precooking the crusts on the grill, adding toppings and then putting back on the grill to finish cooking.

You’ll notice most of the sourdough recipes are either from my blog or from Traditional Cooking School (TCS). When I was first learning sourdough, Wardee from TCS was one I often bounced ideas off. Then when she began her online cooking school in 2010 I was a student. Several years ago I began working with Wardee (as a virtual assistant) and have made every sourdough recipe she offers so I know them well and I know what we like. 🙂 I’m also an affiliate with TCS.
