Warm and Golden Sourdough For Fall
A free 6-day email series to help you bake cosy, spiced, properly seasonal sourdough, starting with what to do about a starter that's gone a bit sluggish in the cold.
A few months ago I told my summer sourdough subscribers that sourdough was basically an October food. Best eaten in thick socks, ideally with soup.
Well. It's October. Or close enough. And I stand by every word.
This is the season sourdough was built for. Your oven's finally earning its keep again. The kitchen smells like something's happening. And plain loaves start feeling less like a compromise and more like exactly what you want.
But there's a catch nobody warns you about: your starter slows down too. Cooler kitchen, cooler dough, and suddenly the same recipe that took four hours in August is taking seven.
That's exactly what this free email series is here to help with.
Sign up below and I'll send you 6 short emails covering what actually changes for your starter in colder weather, plus my favourite fall sourdough bakes: apples, cinnamon, pumpkin, and a properly savoury loaf so the whole series isn't just dessert. Active starter and discard recipes both included.
No wondering what to bake next.
No pumpkin content you didn't ask for (well, some, but the good kind...).
No sad, sluggish starter you don't know what to do with.
Just a simple, seasonal guide to help you bake through fall with more confidence and less guessing, plus a free gift to keep once the series ends.
What You'll Get
Over 6 days, I'll send you a quick-start guide to fall sourdough baking. Each email is short and easy to read on your phone while something's proving, because that's realistically when you'll open it.
You'll get:
- The one thing to know about your starter once the weather turns
- Recipes that feel warm, spiced and properly seasonal
- A mix of active starter bakes and sourdough discard recipes
- Sweet and savoury ideas, not just an avalanche of pumpkin spice
- Simple inspiration for cosy nights in, bonfire nights, or just a Tuesday
- Direct links to the recipes, so you can actually bake instead of bookmarking and forgetting
- A small gift once the series wraps up (hint: sourdough cookies involved)
This isn't a complicated sourdough course. It's a nudge in the right direction for the recipes that make sense once the weather turns.
Who This Is For
This free Fall Sourdough series is for you if:
- You already bake sourdough but your starter's gone quiet and you're not sure why
- You want seasonal ideas beyond your usual loaf
- You've already bought something pumpkin-spiced and you're not sorry about it
- You want both active starter and discard recipes in one place
- You want sourdough that works for a cosy night in as much as a proper savoury dinner
- You are, deep down, already thinking about Christmas baking, even if you won't admit it yet
Why Fall Sourdough?
Because sourdough doesn't have to fight the season, it can lean straight into it.
It can be spiced with cinnamon.
It can be soft with roasted apple.
It can be properly savoury, caramelised onion and sharp cheddar, no sugar in sight.
It can sit next to a bonfire, a roast dinner, or just a very large cup of tea.
And once you stop treating your starter like it's broken every time it slows down, fall baking gets a lot less stressful.
Instead of asking, "Why has my starter stopped doubling?"
You start asking, "What should I make with it this weekend?"
Much better question.
