Farmer’s Market Inspired Sourdough + New Challenger Tees!

There’s something inspiring about walking through a farmer’s market– the hand-picked berries, fragrant herbs, garden tomatoes, and local honey– for starters. Summer is the perfect time to turn a simple slice of sourdough into something special with ingredients straight from the market.

Summer fruit and sourdough are a natural match. Strawberries, blueberries, cherries, and peaches add bursts of sweetness and seasonal flavor, whether folded into your dough as inclusions or paired with your favorite toppings after baking. 

Here are some seasonal toppings you might enjoy: 

• Strawberry + Basil + Honey Butter: Sweet strawberries, fragrant basil, and whipped honey butter is pure perfection. Topping or inclusion? It looks like all of the other suggestions here are for toppings. So I’m going to assume this one is a topping as well?

• Heirloom Tomato + Burrata + Sea Salt: Nothing beats sun-ripened tomatoes from the garden. Top warm sourdough with creamy burrata, sliced heirloom tomatoes, and a sprinkle of sea salt.

• Blueberry + Lemon Zest + Cream Cheese: Bright, tangy, and perfect for breakfast toast. 

• Apple + Extra Sharp Cheddar: For end of summer sweetness, try this sweet and savory combo on toasted sourdough.

Ripe produce complements the flavor of sourdough beautifully, especially during the summer months when everything is at peak freshness. Next time you visit the farmer’s market, grab one or two extra ingredients for baking inspiration. You might just discover a new favorite recipe.
