In between all the other things that I am baking — whoo hoo Cookie Madness! — I need to keep my sourdough starter in tip top shape, so I made a new variation on the weekly sourdough experiment: Sourdough Maple Pecan Harvest Bread. A little nutty, a little maple-y and definitely a good choice for breakfast and bread pudding. Very New England autumn inspired.

This week in Sourdough experiments, I went with a Honey Porter Miche, aka Honig Dunkel Bier Mischbrot, aka a Honey Porter Rye and Whole Wheat Loaf. It’s a little darker, thicker and heavier than some of my other breads, but intentionally so. And it has a great flavor. The porter is a little bitter, the honey sweet and the combination is just right for a hearty slice with raclette cheese or with a warm soup as autumn rolls in. This will have to stay on the rotation, I think.
Here’s another apple recipe! This one to keep those apples “long term” (depends on how quickly you go through the jar of jam!) and still as delicious! Apple cider, warm mulling spices and chunks of Crispin apples all mixed together. This jam tastes sort of like a really intense apple pie filling. Delicious on toast or even mixed into yogurt. A spoonful of autumn!
Starting off October right with this autumn-inspired breakfast treat: Sourdough Hazelnut Swirls aka Filbert and Alice’s Nußschnecken. Sourdough (although you could also make this with a yeast brioche dough) and a caramelly-nutty (hazelnuts, but you could also use walnuts) filling. Not too sweet, a little bit of honey inspired. Delicious straight out of the oven. These are definitely on repeat!
I’ve been meaning to make this Monkey Bread for a whole long time, and a wet and yucky Thursday seemed to be a decent opportunity. They are perfect. They are addictive and I might just fall into a sugar coma later. It’s like a cake-sized cinnamon roll.
At the end of this recipe is also a quick note if you want to make a yeasted, not sourdough version, and a “store bought option” if you are really short on time.
